However, I have seen combat in my life. I am from The Bronx, NYC.

So, he wants to be a member of the Ranger gang? Tough initiation -- even harder to maintain your membership status.

Bugsy - did you officially pass the baton to the Wino, or did he just kind of take over? :lol:

The Bronx is rough, last time I was up that way we got hit by a rocket attack coming in from across the harbor in Staten Island. My cab then got taken out by an IED, I was lucky to make it. You are exactly right, you are already a combat vet, so it should be very easy for you.

Welcome to Ranger Land. You know about combat, huh? You know about loss, huh? You don't know what you don't know. But thank you for your service and I wish you well on achieving your goal. But you better explain your combat remark, and quickly, or your time here will be short lived.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Re: My humble apology

Second-Combat- Yes I have. I was not a gangbanger, per se, but I did run with a couple of guys. My experience of combat, for sure, does not come close to any of yours, but in the dark of night when you are running after someone with a gun, shooting and being shot at, it all comes down to one thing... kill or be killed. I would rather be doing that for the right reasons instead of what I used to be doing. And. yes, The Bronx is a hectic place. But I would not be who I am if I came from anywhere else.
