have to disagree Merv (or Sharon)...while we probably accomplished little in the war torn country to which we sent our finest (god bless them), we accomplished plenty in cementing allied friendships even further. Love 'em or hate 'em, I like being friends with the boys that have the biggest six shooters.
If my best mate and comrade in arms of the last 100 years leads out, I'm going to stand by him, even if it means risking my safety and my presence may mean little to the net result.
