I went as a CDT and consider my time in Pineland a couple of the best weeks I have spent in the Army. Learned a lot from some great guys and saw some things that shed a lot of light on the SF way of life and the power of a strong team.
I still have my discharge documents, money, country study from the school house, all sorts of things. They are great keepsakes.

For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the [terrorists] -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
