PwC3, you are scared. My telling you to sack up was a bad assumption, you aren't a dude so my apologies (assuming you don't have that "sack"). I enlisted in the Marines the year the towers fell. Nobody I directly knew was effected. I fought for this country overseas and abroad. My life was in peril many times, both overseas and at home. I'll tell you now - get your own thread. We have troops dying in war zones all the time and nobody gives a shit. I'm not in your region, I realistically don't care yet. People have tried to kill me and failed. Nature has tried to kill me and failed. (So far). You won't get a ton of sympathy from me. Empathy, I'm all ears.
