What a brave man-I wish him well, and thanks for those like him.
It’s people (volunteers) like this that people of allied and ememy nations respect and/or fear.
We must remember that military service in most nations is mandatory. The fact that Americans volunteer to do this speaks volumes about the quality of our nation, our citizens, and our individual will-power.
This is an incalculably valuable combat multiplier.
