Vinny, Good stuff.
There are so many detractors about our Armed Forces and what they do to try and make a diofference in this world. So many refuse to stand behind them, and none will ever dare stand in front of them. Peaceniks all over the world will whine and bitch, yet do not relaise it is the men an women who fought and died for their right to do so.

Those crazy Turks!!! Whatever happened to the good old days of making Turkish Delight and just being happy.
at 22:27 on December 22nd, 2007
You're so right, Leonard. Who does the Turkish Prime Minister think he is, George W. Bush? What's the big deal about a little terrorism every now and then? The crazy Turks must be watching cowboy movies lately. I've heard they're much happier munching on Snickers bars and shooting.:))
