PS. Yes, I've been there--mind you it was only Somalia

Been there or not...misquoting a person here is pretty pathetic...even if it is via paraphrase.

Arguing it is "noble" certainly does not argue it is "glorious."

It is amazing how quick many of you guys are to reword someone's position to make yours easier to argue. It is intellectually dishonest and maybe...as you put it "mental." Either your vocabularies are deficient or you are outright dishonest. If you are going to use my name...at least try to get my words right. It is akin to me saying that your position is that we should never go to war to defend our country. Cheap shots are just that...
If you served in Somalia...thank you for your service. I don't know about you, but I certainly believe the efforts of the men that received the Medal of Honor posthumously for what they did there were certainly "noble." And as special forces...if they had survived...they likely would have not even be allowed to talk about it.
