This is what I'm talking about

Last post referred to those yet to serve in combat. I read today about a guy who is just shy of sixty years old recently returning from combat duty, training Iraqi military. He said, "It was the best time of my life…and the worst." To get in the Army in the first place, being so "old", he had to pass detailed medical muster, plus demonstrate he was physically fit. Jokingly he said, "I had to be in shape, well, 'round' is a shape." His commander in Iraq said he was right in the middle of everything, humping heavy combat gear, fighting alongside people half his age. This is an example of what I was talking about in my previous post when I wrote about volunteering to go where you're needed…regardless of the hardships involved.
