I was kind of hoping that he would pay a visit to my FOB while here the past couple of days.  Have a few questions I would ask him just to see if he would answer them truthfully or at all.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

He sat down at a couple of meals with different service members.  I am one that just wouldn't roll over and play nice.  I don't mind rocking the boat.
