I just want to say that one of the hardest decisions I ever made was to say "No", but I knew that if I didn't I'd be compramising my pricipals and putting myself in a position that would cause me more pain and that's one of the reasons I felt I needed to write this post.

And no it's not simple, at all, I know this very, very well, but if the Army, GD forbid, needs to call miluim again for another war this summer I'm going to have to say "No" and I won't regret that.
