Yesterday, when John Boehner was awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the 40 surviving members of the Devil's Brigade (predecessor unit of the "Green Berets"), he teared-up. If I had been there with them, tears would have been rolling down my cheeks as well.
Quoting from the Associated Press: In 1942, they were lumberjacks, miners, hunters and farmers from the United States and Canada who came together at an Army base in Montana. Within a few months, they were well-trained warriors who went on to become one of the deadliest commando units in World War II.
Now, how long have we been training the Iraqi military - regular forces, not commandos?
Do you feel a tear in your eye yet?
