This quote hung over the entrance to the Marine Force Recon area in PhuBi Marine Air Base, Vietnam.
"Yea thou I walk through the valley of death....I will fear no evil,
because I am the meanest mother in the valley?"
I cleaned it up a bit for public reading but its meaning runs true for the attitude one must have when entering combat, it is not a game but a life or death confrontation. This is needed not only by our troops is harms way but by those who support them. All wars must be fought with the intention of winning we have somehow lost this truth, a politically correct army is a force destined to be defeated by the meanest mother in the valley. Just my opinion.
