Same here, when I stationed in Europe our unit's motto was "The Few, The Proud, The Speedbumps." Gives you a good idea about what we thought our chances were against the Soviets. Actually though that soldier's attitude is one that's fostered in most good armies. If you look at the Budensweir, British or the Canadian armies, its the same attitude. Many of the most prestigious medal awardees, (like the Victoria Cross etc.,), have the same same attitude, they soldiers were considering that they were just doing their job. larry larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:219385 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
