Yeah, Right, Whatever

... how our military can keep such high moral going when the pundits and celebrity types are constantly knocking them down, it's because they have men such as Lieutenant Colonel Randolph White training and leading them. (Blackfive has a link to the entire video, but, if you just want a little nibble to see if it's worth it- and it is- check here). Here's a little bit of what he had to say during a US Army Infantry Graduation Ceremony:

I FOR ONE WILL NEVER...EVER... APOLOGIZE FOR BEING AN AMERICAN AND DON'T YOU EVER FEEL THAT YOU HAVE TO. WE'RE NOT PERFECT BUT I CAN THINK OF NO PLACE BETTER. WE DIDN'T BECOME THE GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE ARE BY ACCIDENT....WE EARNED IT! ---- AND WHILE WE WERE AT IT--- WE KEPT AND CONTINUE TO KEEP A LARGE PORTION OF THE WORLD FREE. AMERICAN BLOOD AND SACRIFICE IS THE INDISPUTABLE PART OF THE WORLD EQUATION. MORE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE TRYING TO COME TO OUR SHORES THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY. WE REMAIN THE BEACON OF HOPE FOR MANY, AND GOD WILLING IT WILL ALWAYS BE SO. WE'RE NUMBER 1...DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR IT – BE DAMN PROUD OF IT!

There... that's just to get you interested. Go watch and/or read the whole thing... VERY worth it.
