Hey Old G..

Far be if for a young and no longer active soldier like myself to question someone like yourself, and not to thread hijack..

Was it not " I prayed for a mission and for my sins they gave me one"?

Might have to throw the DVD in..

Back off guys, it's an ambush - now there's TWO of them!
NY Ranger practices law in the same neighborhood.

How come you lawyer guys always 'practice' law - don't you ever get good at it? :P

That's a good book & worth reading. Like the author of 'Tiger the Lurp Dog', Gary chose to use fiction as a device to tell his story. Unlike all but one (that I know of) of the multitude of VN Ranger/LRP memiors, this one is from the officer's perspective and is worth reading just for a peek into their perspective.
