The only thing I have to explain to you is that courage is kinda' like
humility -- if you say you got it, ya' DON'T.

Cute saying--Dear Abbey?

Nope. It just popped into my head while fending off Kramer's
uncalled-for barbs and arrows.

My son came home complaining about a bully in school. I told him
he'd have to fight him or solve the problem. "How do I solve the
problem?" He asked. Easy, give the drug dealer on the corner some
bad info, like how the bully is selling drugs on his turf. Poof--He was
dead within the week, and the problem went away. Chicago is now
a better place.

Lovely neighborhood you live in there, huh?

Now that's how to handle courage. The silent types are what
will kill you, not the breast beaters.

For the most part, agreed, but if the combat veterans remained silent
there would be no reason for this NG to exist. We don't want to
discourage discussion here but it's kinda' tough having any type of
meaningful dialogue with someone like Kramer or Tarver who tend
to respond with unnecessary and completely uncalled-for one-liner
insults and baseless accusations rather than constructive feedback.
We all bring our own expectations to this group as to how we think
the discourse should proceed on RAM. However, this is NOT
rec.aviation.VFW or rec.aviation.flame and it's important to remember
that both combatants and non-combatants alike must be courageous
and willing to sacrifice a bit...especially since 9/11.
