[R-390] Antifreeze

[rbethman]

I guess trying to climb a hillside to use a PRC-47 without getting 
oneself killed in the process of calling "home" doesn't count either.

How many of your brothers came home in bags?

How many did you have to eliminate and get out clean in the process?

How many base camps did you endure being over run, leaving your brothers 
in it until Puff cleaned it out and you went back in to clean it up, 
separate *them* from ours, treat ours with dignity and made sure what 
remained got home?

How many did you personally escort back to their families to go through 
their grief and show them compassion and took pride in that task?

Now rethink *your* little world of that hole that our particular folks 
did what was necessary.

Yep!  I have my view of those that may have sat in the middle on nowhere 
listening to beeps and words while WE did what we did.

If that view bothers you, then you need to grow up.  It is long past 
time to mature.

Try doing a tactical mission HALO jump with a Para-Wing that was still 
only under R&D.

Time for kids to become adults!
