There's No Reason To Do

I Decided To Start A Medical Training Program For Freelancers, Only Freelancers. They're The Ones Who Are Doing Most Of The Combat Reporting. They're Taking Most Of The Risks. They're Absorbing Most Of The Casualties. And They're The Most Underserved And Under-resourced Of Everyone In The Entire News Business.

The Attacks Of 9/11 Came Out Of Afghanistan. It Was A Failed State, A Rogue Nation. That's Why Al Qaeda Was There In The First Place.

I Was Surprised How Open And Unguarded The Military Was. I Expected More Scrutiny, More Supervision From Command.

Combat Isn't Where You Might Die -- Though That Does Happen -- It's Where You Find Out Whether You Get To Keep On Living. Don't Underestimate The Power Of That Revelation. Don't Underestimate The Things Young Men Will Wager In Order To Play That Game One More Time.

When You're Scared, You're Still Hanging On To Life. When You're Ready To Die, You Let It Go. A Sort Of Emptying Out Occurs, A Giving Up On The World That Seems Oddly Familiar Even If You've Never Done It Before.
