One of the houndsmen on here has had a front row seat to all this. In his own words, this is what makes that can of whoop ass work:
"I am an Infantryman a mortar platoon sergeant to be exact I have been envolved in just about every major operation since the start of 2001 most namely the occupation of the korengal valley no one from alexander the great to the british or russians could take or keep that valley and we occupied it for 16 months and we dominated the area simply from our will to do our job and stamp our name in history for actually doing something and not just saying we were there."
I would personally like to thank these fine men for their hard work, personal sacrifice and integrity... they are the product of what makes me proud to be an American.
