Yet more. Am I eligible for sales commission from the military recruiters?

Or better yet, an embedment(?) on the upcoming North Korea operation?

“Derb: I read your email about the Sun engineer who regretted never joining

the military and it rang true for me too. But that’s not what was

interesting to me about it… It also basically represents the very

situation my brother was in 7 years ago. In the exact same circumstances,

with the same feelings, he went and joined the USMC Reserve. Now he’s an

infantry NCO in the middle of the Battle of Baghdad, part of Fox Company

2/23, the only group of American reservists in Baghdad right now. And

they’re not in the party section of downtown Baghdad, either. They’re still

in the shooting part of town. Rick Leventhal from Fox News is embedded with

them right now and reported last night that they had 9 casualties helo-ed to

Kuwait yesterday. They’re the group of hard-asses that are riding around

town trying to draw fire (successfully, too) so they know who to kill. All

of these guys are reservists, who presumably had the same feelings that your

Sun engineer and I have but who acted on it and are now on the front lines

of the war to save the world. Always faithful!”
