World-travelling country boy from the Appalachian foothills. I'm as comfortable digging ditches as I am rubbing elbows with foreign diplomats. Both can be satisfying and both can get you dirty, all at the same time.

    My condolences, General. It looks like you were expecting this, but that still doesn’t make it easier. We mourn with you, friend.

    I guess. I found it actually quite humorous. The local VFD doesn’t sound that alarm anymore so I couldn’t tell you how I’d react. I’m going back to the place where it all occurred in a few days and hope to see some of the places I was. If you don’t see me around, it’s because I’m preoccupied there. I served our country to defend Saudi Arabia, so I oddly feel a little bit of loyalty there as well.

    Which only takes the fun out of it, all for your ego.

    “Open for interpretation” is often an excuse for lazy writing.

    Yeah. We don’t have to speculate or wonder about anything anymore. If you guess wrongly Charley the farmer will be sure to correct you.

    The only lingering PTSD I brought home from the Middle East was an instinctual response to the air raid siren that would send us diving into the bunker three times a night. I came home and moved into a place well within earshot of the local VFD. They used to sound off a general siren when they received a call that was eerily similar to the air raid siren. So when they would have a call when I was sleeping I would hit the floor in a cold sweat wondering where my gas mask and boots were.

    Actually, it’s probably the case that “normal” people are just as strong but have their psychological “safeties” on to where they don’t use their full strength all the time.
