War can be terrible

War can be a brutal event. We tend to sit back in our living rooms,and view the barrage of information that comes across our television. We easily can become de-sensitized the real to the true gravity and danger of the battle front. Lives may be ended or altered forever during the heat of battle.

When I first saw this photo, my heart was instantly brought face to face with the cold reality of battle. Yet at the same time, made me proud of who I am. This moment of conflict, on some distant shore, truly captures the spirit and cause of fighting for what is right.

But a word of warning: You may not want to look at first due to the disturbing content. But the more you look, the more you will likely be drawn to and inspired by this moment. It may even cause you to want to join the fight. I hope it does.

Please take a silent moment to view this tragedy. Remember that all of us can be proud, and be brave...God Bless.

The picture did bring tears to my eyes. I could not help but to raise my, um, glass, to those brave souls.

Please Steve, how can I help? Where do I sign up?

and some of the lads out on the front line complain about lack of proper equipment. These guys have an obvious lack of adequate clothing but appear to be making the most of the situation and indeed enjoying themselves.

I think those hip flasks are a little high but very well filled... as for the camoflage, the shears were obviously sharp enough to trim the bushes...

Steve,

Two words

Thank you.

Cheers

Chris





Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Bet we're all glad Tony Blair couldn't arrange flak jackets for them.

If they need R & R then I'm available.
