“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Yeah that sucked, a 45 day rotation was never that fun. Then there was always hoensfeld, that was always just as fun too
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

Eurocopter test flying Albanian Super Pumas
20 January 2012 - 10:27by Tony Osborne in London
Eurocopter is test flying and preparing to deliver the first AS532AL cougars to the Albanian Armed Forces.
The first of five aircraft ordered, FA-630, has been flying from the company's plant at Marignane near Marseille since late last year.
Albania ordered the helicopters under a €78.6 million contract in December 2009 and all five aircraft will be deliver by early 2013.
The Cougars are the first new aircraft purchase made by the Albanian Ministry of Defence since the end of the Cold War.
The largely Chinese and Soviet-built fleet of helicopters, which once dominated the forces, have been retired from service and replaced by donated Agusta-Bell Hueys from Italy and ex-German military Bo-105s.
