<< I believe your context is Tremendously skewed. I served in the US Army 12
years. I know MORE people who served with me who I consider to be WARRIORS
than SOLDIERS (as you define the words). Most of the people I know who fit
the description of your friend are veterans who saw brutal combat in the
"soldier" role. I could not continue to lurk while such broad "profiling"
happens. These folks are NOT the typical armed forces personnel. Believe it
or not, the military is not entirely made up of "war mongers" and "cogs in
the wheels of the machine" . . . There are many many WARRIORS whose first
choice would be to stand firm without killing and who WILL kill when and if
killing is necessary (when their country is attacked and the safety and
freedom of their people is at risk). >>

Great post, Barry.  thank you.
