[Rhodes22-list] Sappy Comment on D-Day

[Rik Sandberg]

Snide Bob ...... just a little snide.

But, I'm with Steve here. If my country called me tomorrow and asked 
that I help rid the world of Saddam Hussein or this Muslim radical 
scourge. I'd be there in a heartbeat. I feel that these people are that 
big a threat to the rest of us. We tried to talk for better than ten 
years (since Desert Storm) and only wasted our breath. It was time we 
got down to their level and got on with it.

I'm 52 though, so I don't think they're too interested in my help.

As far as "willingly" giving my life for my country, or anything else 
for that matter. Nope, I wouldn't "willingly" die for any cause. There's 
going to be a pretty good fight first.

One of our more famous generals from World War II said it well. 
Paraphrasing here; It's not a soldier's duty to die for his country. 
It's his duty to get the dumb sumbitch on the other side to die for HIS 
country.

Being sent to Iraq is not a death sentence.
