I understand this kind of macho rhetoric is currently in vogue in =
conservative circles, but it seems so simpleminded. It's especially =
disturbing given the deaths occurring on a daily basis in Iraq. It's =
been my experience that people who say/write things like that have deep =
insecurities, but that's not you of course. I'm sure you'll impress us =
all with your daring service under fire, killing enemies and breaking =
things.
