Holy shit, I went through the trouble of typing all of that, the least you could do is spell my goddamn fake-ass internet name correctly.

I mean shit it's written right there.

This is a great thread

Turned 21 in Afghanistan. Luckily I wasn't the youngest!

The best infantrymen understand the intel and make effective use of it. A great Ranger team leader and squad leader are some of the smartest people you will meet.
