Got my marching orders.
As of February ninth at 1300 I am to report to First Civ Div, Camp Couch by way of medical retirement.
Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs
"Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident."
"Then there are the wolves," the old war veteran said, "and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy."
"Then there are sheepdogs," he went on, "and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf."

P.S. Thank you for your service!
Oh I won’t, and don’t thank me. The Corps thanked me twice a month.

Re: Got my marching orders.
It is a good read, and in the most simplistic terms it is very very true. Colonel Grossman is a brilliant man. What more people need to understand is they do not have to be a cop, or in the military to be a sheepdog. They only need to make the conscious decision to arm themselves, become trained in their chosen arm (even if their chosen arm is their fist), and to be watchful, waiting on the wolf.
