I'm not sure which is worse on our side
When the soldiers die so young
Or when they die so old.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
A 19 year old soldier today was 11 when 9/11 happened, and 13 when the illegal
invasioncrusade started. For almost a good half of their life they were filled with lies and bullshit and never got to understand things for what they really were. I'd say the younger they are the longer we are in the war is the bigger tragedy.At 38 the older ones were nearing retirement, if they were career people.
If they just left sooner.

founder of the SAL minor league...and its only president for its entire 50 years
