And how little credit they goet from the same people who pounce on anything that might be negative. They are not perfect but they are a damn sight better than most of the people who give them hell.<BR/><BR/>And I have a relative serving over there, he is a good person...so be careful what you say.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1165861763561203022006-12-11T11:29:00.000-07:002006-12-11T11:29:00.000-07:00skook:My brother in law lived in Mexcio for years ...skook:<BR/><BR/>My brother in law lived in Mexcio for years and his wife gave birth to one of their children there.

I have them up on my site at www.minor-ripper.blogspot.com ..You have to wonder what these soldiers were thinking when videotaping this stuff...MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536120216979756937noreply@blogger.com
