with a 45 lb. pack on his back, weapon in hand, after having

and says with a smile, "This is good shit!"

*A Navy SEAL lies in the mud, 55 LB pack on his
back, weapon in hand, after swimming 10 miles to shore,

*A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking,
bug-infested mud of a swamp with a 65 LB pack on his back and
a weapon in both hands after jumping from an

the shore, killing several alligators to enter
the swamp, then crawling 30 miles through the brush to assault
an enemy camp, says, "I love this shit."

*The Air Force NCO sits in an easy chair in an
air conditioned, carpeted office and says, "My e-mail's
