A couple of days ago I read a Marine blog article titled the same as this one. Its taken from a Marine drill instructor who was posted where one of his trainees is posted.

This is often less happy than I'd like it to be. This year has been confusing, heart-wrenching, dramatic, and just plain bad. Not to...
