IN WW1 in the UK, there was a famous recruiting poster featuring Lord Kitchener, pointing at the viewer, and the words: "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU". It was noted at the time that it did not say: "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS ME."
my son nate was stationed at a base near baqubah, w/an idiot for a sgt. mjr-
this guy but in 5 speed bumps from the front gate, till the main hospital, even
tho they were the primary hospital base in the area. if an officer wants you to
salute him, outside, say- sniper -check and watch them flinch.

locals had to go thru it. how bizarre, to go from full-on battle, to doing
jumping- jacks, whoa! glad the front guy pulled himself up short. love, susie
