Interesting article on why men in combat bond and want to stay on the Mission and with their fellow soldiers. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,199005,00.html
"Spc. Steven Clark's luck is worse. The 25-year-old has been shot three times and wounded by shrapnel from a grenade that tore into his legs and back. He has been awarded three purple hearts — a fourth is on the way — and a bronze star with valor.
His friends have nicknamed him "Bullet Magnet" — but he won't consider leaving."
You can tell he is not a kerryite, but a man who Honors his duty.

thanks for a great article Terry, wonder if the antique media will carry this
| Quote: | Kunk, who is not a doctor, decides every week which wounded soldiers can return to duty. Often the soldiers research regulations and argue endlessly, he said.
It's heartbreaking when he has to say no, but he does.

memo to skeerry - these brave soldiers are researching regs , in order to stay in theater
