Not Whiners!
Over at NRO Michael Ledeen linked to this story about the US Rangers http://www.wtoc.com/global/story.asp?s=8644155 It is a horribly overused word in our lexicon but it truly fits to call these men awe inspiring.
While deployed all night, every night, they went on literally thousands of raids, by helicopter, by vehicle, by foot and in some cases on boat assault,” said Col. Clarke. “Yes, Rangers were doing boat assault, against the world’s most valuable, dangerous and elusive targets, in the worst areas, under the most threatening and demanding operational conditions.”
If we weren’t a nation of whiners these are the stories that would lead the evening news each night instead of the usual complaints about the horror of having to pay your own bills.
