Been there, not interested in returning. I mean, not unless I get paid really damn well for another big cracking war or something. : shrug :
To you, to muslims, to middle easterners, at least some, islam and honor are synonymous. They are not, to me. In the case of this unfortunate muslim shooter I'm not disputing that he was trying to get in the good graces of his god, his version of honor. I'm pretty sure that's why he did what he did..because of what he believed, as a muslim. Men don't make women wear garbage bags for honor, some men just call it that. Honor is just a word used in a translation to give me some sense of the analog concept held by another culture or society.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
