I spent the Fourth of July celebration with some GIs just back from Iraq. We talked and drank and shot guns in my woods (all legal) and generally had a good time.
Conversation ranged from women to the tour they just completed. They didn't offer a lot of detail regarding their experiences but one comment was telling. This one grizzled veteran (28 ) said: "It's not that there's a lot of fire fights. It's the IEDs. Everytime you go outside the fence you never know if your time is up."
That's anyone's definition of courage.
