I refuse to ignore this.
I understand.
But hopefully in the future we won't have to be in the military to learn the lessons you have outlined here.
I'd love it if you walked into my home and sang out;"I'm home".
Anytime, Jack, Anytime!
Peaches, that is one invitation I hope will come to pass.
It would be my honor to do just that.
I agree with your idea that we would all be better off if we could do this.
Perhaps if we did, we would not need the military. Just a thought.
Spoken like a true soldier Jack.
BTW, thanks for the advice on weight reduction but it was really the beautification I was after most, and NDYW were not crass enough to talk about joining fees and the like.
