When I was 10, I found an injured bird and kept him in a box on our balcony and gave him food and water. I came home from school one day to find that he'd gotten strong enough to fly away. I learned about 5 years ago that he died and my Mom threw him in the trash. I'm 45 now. Can you send me a bird?

I was with TF-11 and I feel good about that mission though there were some huge mistakes and missed opportunities. Roberts Ridge being one of the mistakes. Dick measuring and unwillingness to share among the colors, from my standpoint. Anywho, the mission creep that became nation building with no defined objective was the downfall in my view. Would love to know what you think. Do you have a book or summary online?

Whelp…. So have I. Just about every day. It helps me to separate the two efforts. Not too hard since I never personally had anything to do with anything other than that task force. We still lost some guys that we shouldn’t have. That whole country is so decentralized, it’s unbelievably arrogant to think that they would want us to build a democracy there. The people don’t know what that means and they don’t give a fuck. When TF-11 wrapped, so to speak, we should have eased that presence back to the 3 letters. Not Erik Prince either.

I use Henkel Four Star (Zwilling). Be careful; Henkel is now making an introductory line. The Zwilling uses two little tiki looking dudes as their trademark, the other looks very similar but is only one dude. Not the same knives at all. I hate that they cheapened their brand like this but that’s where we’re at.

So...... 9?
