MSgt, get off your self pity! Look around you. Hell, you've got kids who so worshiped you that once you've mentioned begals, they've stopped bringing in donuts.

DID YOU EVER STEER THEM WRONG?

You want to see good? YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA! OPEN YOUR EYES. KIDS ARE OPENING DOORS FOR YOU JUST TO BE PILOTE!

You want to see something beyond destruction? Goto a shopping centre and smile to a little girl.

You want to know we're winning in in Afghanistan? How many fathers are sending their little girls to school? We're winning ... and we are winning big! Fathers are so proud that their little girls are going to school.

That is worth all the lives we've spent, fathers being brave enough to risk their little girls ... just because we are willing to risk our soldiers to protect them.

That is proud!
