I see we are arguing about holoween baloney as Americans are dieting half way around the world.... *This upsets me. -Not that you are out of line, wrong or off on a tangent, but that we send our kids into the world and put them at risk, so often... I recently sat on a BSA Eagle Scout board and saw two boys stand and be questioned.. *One was prepared and faired well.. the other was at the end of his limits, physically shaken and stressed.. and left to 'hug the commode and blow chips.... and NTC Sr.Guide was nowhere close! We need a *balance... and we need to be real! We do not *prepare children to war, but to LIFE! The virtue of *Courage is not always found in the reaction to the "Hit" or "Attack"... *Courage is a ethic that allows clear thought and the ability to "pioneer" through a challenge. I noted that today one of the US Sailors was a young lady.... things have changed since my time with Admiral Zumwalts navy<G> Pray for PEACE! Pray for those we send in harms way! Pray that we do not discount them and ignore them. Remember them... *Remember PFC Mitch Silvers USMC Jan 25, 1968 _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
