...as for the controversy you raised, rb.... my stepson was deployed for a second tour to a combat zone,,,,he shipped out four days ago....my wife is a mess, as she was when he went last year. I'm torn because, from a standpoint of what is immediately best for my family, all means of force protection are preferable to hearing a knock at the door and looking out the window to see a couple of soldiers in crisply starched dress uniforms, regretting to inform us that.....
