It's hard to believe that the battle of Mogadishu was 20 years ago today...

Blue: 7 1/2 years on active duty with the US Army, 1972-1979, mostly in Germany. Oh yeah, do you remember the "Cold War"? 5 years with the USAR. 1982-1987. Light Infantry. Queen of Battle. I believe that most Americans today have no idea what it means to be American. We have lost our identity. We have traded our "exceptionalism" for "political correctness". We are just another country that has been spoiled by technology and the worship of material things. We no longer practice the concepts of personal responsibility and personal accountability. We are only too willing to let Big Brother, our government, take care of us. We have lost sight of what The Founders set out to create when they wrote The Constitution. Saddest of all, we no longer thirst for liberty.
