 I just wanted to thank you T! For being the guy who protects us whiney out-of-step Civies. I can't fully understand the sacrifices you make But I have a good Idea (Dogma talk). I know you are a great help to this nation of ours and would solute you but then you'd kick me in the ass for soluting my best friend. Thanks for protecting us and doing your job even though you have the worst boss in the world.
