Desert COP Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Kevin, These are not the kind of things I like to talk about and surely not on this site. I'm assigned to an Expeditionary Strike Group near Baghdad, IRAQ. Thanks for asking but not on this website. Dennis in the Desert (IRAQ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin34 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Dennis, your a good friend of mine. Like my wife, I probably take you for granted! Just want to say Thank You to you and the troops. I can't begin to think of what it is like over there, or what you guys see or have to do day in and day out. KS, just be glad you are in a classroom and you and your buddies have the opportunity to talk and discuss what may be going on overseas. Just know that we are enjoying life here for what they are doing for us over there. If you are really interested in military combat and what it may be like, go to the library and check out a couple of books. Maybe talk to the counciler or a military recruit. Dennis, be glad to see you back on American soil, FOR GOOD! Take care of yourself and tell the troops to do the same. Looking forward to it.

Rookie49 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Salute! I don't have the pleasure of knowing you, but as a vet and friend and family of men stationed in Iraq and afghanistan I would say that Even if I was an antiwar whacko you would have my respect for that answer.

ks9166 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 SORRY, Dennis you are right I should have not ask that question at all. Greg, I have check out many books on the military and I have spoken to many recruiters. I also plan to join the Navy as soon as I get out of High School. My friends and I are truely greatful for what you and your troops are doing for our country and that we can come to school every day without the worry of being blown up. So SORRY again and THANK YOU.

champ1796 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well put Greg, we all should take a good look around us and make an honest effort to not take things, or our loved ones for granted. Because, you never know what lies ahead. Salute our troops, and let your loved ones know how much they truly mean to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert COP Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 To ALL, We all thank you for your understanding. I've been doing allot of reading since I've been here and would like to share a few quotes with you from the book I'm reading. Can you tell me who authored these famous saying?? One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Here is the answer which I will give to the President... We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.

Rookie49 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 KS, I think I can speak for everybody when I say this. No one was trying to come down on you and Dennis Answered you in a respectful way. I recognized some stuff about your post that I knew he did also, and I respected him for not coming down on you while explaining himself at the same time. I think you are a young guy and didn't realize the magnitude of the question you asked. I appreciate you having given it some thought and realizing the nature of your post so I respect you for that also. Good luck in your military dreams. Dennis a few more WC for you- You have enemies, good that means you stood up for something sometime in your life. In response to Lady Astor who he had a running Feud- Lady Astor said:" If you were my husband I would poison your tea" WC said: "If you were my wife I would drink it" About Hitler (This could apply to the Middle East and North Korea) Appeasement is the same as feeding the crocodile hoping he will eat you last.

Desert COP Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. Anyone tell me who? Give others a chance Nick! Dennis in the Desert (IRAQ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
