    Thank you so much for your service, Mike. I totally understand not wishing to talk about your time in the service too much. My Grandfathers both served in WWII (a USN PO3 and a USAAF 1st Lt) and neither really liked talking about their time in the service. My dad *is* a veteran (USAF Lt Col) but never served a combat tour. He loves talking about his travels more than anything service related. I think, in general, true heroes never like to shout their accomplishments loud and proud from the roof tops. Their validation comes from doing the deed itself, not from the accolades potentially heaped upon them. Once again, Mike, Thank you for your service.

      @Chris Indermuehle Leftists use rapid-fire attacks to put their opponents on the defensive. Half truths and accusations (the wilder the better) take time to unravel, and this is their way of keeping the upper hand - sowing confusion and yelling over rebuttals.
      Take Kamala Harris for example - the expressions and wild reactions disrupt whatever her opponents are trying to say without her needing to say anything. Once they have the upper hand they keep pressing until you are overwhelmed.

    During my time helping the Green Beret Foundation, I was fortunate enough to work directly with the former Command Sergeant Major of 1st SF. He was the most senior NCO in all of SF. He and Mike worked in the same building in 1st SF and knew each other.
    When deployed, Mike sent me a photo of him standing on a technical with a big grin on his face. I joked that he should’ve looked more serious. He sent me a new photo without a grin.
    The nametape you sometimes see me wearing written in Arabic is just my name in Arabic. Mike had one of the street shops in Iraq make it for me, and he gave it to me when he got back. We both get a kick out of people freaking out about the Arabic without knowing it’s just my name.
