Jack Smith, RIP

What a great read. Like you, alot of it touched home for me because of our shared trip back. Thanks for that, too.

I'm glad Jack found his Peace. Like all of us, I still continue to work on mine. I think it's going pretty good, I must say. Alot of it is, in no small way, because of some of you. I'm honored and proud to be a part of THIS small percentage of our generation.

[i]This sort of experience leaves scars. I had nightmares, and for years afterward I was sour on life, by turns angry, cynical and alienated.

I'm still recovering from this


"It was how we developed the technique of search-and-destroy -- essentially the same technique that George Custer used in the Great Plains: Have U.S. forces troll for the bad guys, and when they attack, kill them 10-to-1 with our superior firepower. "

I guess we didn't learn anything from the Custer Experience, consider how well it worked out for him. I would have thought that was fairly obvious. This is how it was in the `101, the joke was our MOS was now 11T--Target.
Thats when I knew my life was cheap, REAL cheap

James,

Great article and you didn't need the disclaimer.....there was nothing political about it....just a beautiful piece written by a truly gifted brother.

Jack, so glad you found your peace so you may rest in peace. God is blessing you as we speak. See ya' around some day Skytrooper!

Airborne!
