I could give a rat's azz about a 'calling". Our mission SHOULD NOT HAVE CHANGED from when i was in. It was very simple: we WERE here to engage with and destroy the enemy. I salute those who are serving their COUNTRY and still hold to the core mission. As for those getting in to push some agenda which destabilizes mission readiness and drain resources, well, it might appear that we have met the enemy and s/he is us. We will get what we deserve, not what this Nation NEEDS. Dear Lord, what have we come to and how badly we are disappointing You. You are no respecter of persons, and will correct NATIONS, for we are badly going astray. Not all of us, but enough of us to have these things occur. Symptoms of disease. Increasing corruption. But not forever. In Jesus' Name have mercy on US which we do not deserve. And Amen. Oh, and a sidebar: Heh, memory files. The Russian viz a vis US Army. Quite sure those are freaking Spetsnaz. Heh, the s__t you remember.
