	He wasn't acting there, HE WAS the Colonel. Damn fine job. But the Law prevailed and He paid a price for his actions. BTW: I once worked graveyard shift in a civilian job with a Marine (there is NO such thing as an Ex-Marine. Don't ever address one as such! :) ) and I asked him once, if your Gunny pointed to a random individual and said "shoot that man", what would you do? I think you can guess what his immediate response was... Lt

	My gunny would not issue such an order, Sir. I hope no one would do that, but that wasn't the point, of course... It's a mentality I don't understand fully, even though I served in the US Army for nearly 11 years working with people from most of the Services. Lt ps, I thought "Jarhead" and "In the Valley of Elah" were also well worth seeing.

	I don't question your post, the Truth is Tough! Tougher than most of us want to ever hear about... Lt
