I have no doubt he feels he's fighting the good fight. If he felt
otherwise I'm sure he wouldn't have re-enlisted twice while in country.
I did suggest that he could help a lot more Marines by taking the
instructors job and he agreed but the thought of sitting stateside in a
nice cushy job apparently is not what he's looking for in a military career.
He sure has grown a lot from the little toe head who wanted to be a race
car driver.
