Did it 9 years ago in the Army reserve, I knew my generation would face its Pearl Harbor someday.

Spent the better part of the day on the phone with my soldiers and at the unit, making sure thier paperwork, life insurance, wills, etc are up to date, and my section is ready for deplyment.

Dude, your sentiments are noble...I admire them and you...question is, are you going to be able to do anything about them?? I did my time 30 some years ago...they never did turn us loose to do what we could do....the rest of the time was just harrassment by the lifers.....
