My Frontier Thesis said...: “If you kill our civilians, we kill your civilians,” Mr. Massari declared during an interview.

Fair enough Mr. Massari. I chatted with an Army Ranger the other day who served two tours in post-9/11 Afghanistan. He was a real smart guy and said he and his crew would try to eat local food every chance they got.

He also said that, when it came to religious fanatics who are willing to kill, his fellow Rangers had a shirt that, paraphrasing, read, "72-Virgin Army Ranger Dating Service."; 8/23/2006 11:11 AM
Tecumseh said...: Pretty good, pretty good. Reminds me a bit of George Patton's speech before the troops, on the eve of D-Day. You ever read that speech? It definitely would not not pass muster with the PC Police nowadays...; 8/24/2006 12:12 AM
