Ronin,

I spent too many years overseas in uniform and all it takes is one superior who has a chip on their shoulder to ruin a career. Depending on where and what, most everyone has come home with something to remember their time "in country" but no need to advertise it!

For me its a roll of US Air Force propaganda posters found when we closed down the Tempelhof Air Base in Berlin. It shows the Russian Bear and says that "spies are everywhere" and so on... found in a trash heap and spirited home, its a one of a kind thing that probably cannot be found anywhere these days. At the time taking them from the trash could have been a problem and 15 years later who cares.

Just wanted to watch the back of someone who is protecting our ass overseas! Frankly he deserves to have the whole car but I sure would not say that on the forum where his picture is posted! He can sure use it a lot more than Saddam's sons these days...
