Captains

It's conceivable to make captain now by age 24 1/2 or 25. That's about 180 men in a light infantry company. The level of responsibility these young officers and N.C.O.s exercise is stupendous. The stress is through the roof. These guys are 24/7 balls-to-the-wall.

I'm blown away by this war along the border. Unless this stuff is read, video watched, and photos studied, you don't remotely understand.

It's a mind-blowing trip of the first order.
