All I can do is listen and try to learn from the experience of others: my mother-in-law (Occupied France), my father-in-law and my grandfather.

He got kicked out with a general discharge, lucky. He is the one that is the bully pulpit love it or leave it type.<br /><br /><br />There is no glory in war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
