Even Roger Clemens pitched a game or two in the minors.

Your good-natured ribbing reminds me of a great college football rivalry. I don't have enough knowledge about Special Forces groups to discern if your comments are, in any way based in fact, but good competition never hurt anyone. And, if my son has to start in "the minors" with Special Forces, at least I know he's in the game. Better to look back as an old man and say that he was with the finest group of soldiers in the World than to wonder what might have been. I appreciate all you guys- no matter what group you're with.

Take care all,
