Thunder6 says why he is a soldier

This man who is a company commander in Iraq has written a story about how he answered the question from one of his soldiers about "wouldn't you like to be doing something else?" His answer is the one that comes from a warrior wanting peace, but knowing someone has to stand the watch against evil, so those we care about may not have to see it or deal with it. He does justice to a topic that many vets and active duty military members would like to be able to answer, but couldn't find the words. He did.
