    Deeply engaging. The one thing that confuses is why Chris's younger brother was also allowed to serve in the military? Whatever happened to Abraham Lincoln's admonition to not potentially kill the youngest in the family, therefore, in a family with two boys or more ala Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan, he would not be allowed to go since someone must be left who can carry on the name? As a sidebar, does this apply to women as well who would serve? In our contemporary world where women are our hero's in war too, this question has yet to be asked. It's a disturbing irony that The Legend was eventually murdered after he left the Seals by one of the very brother's in arms veterans he fought so bravely and heroicly to save, an American tragedy if ever there was one. If there must be a symbol of the true America that comes out of these endless mind-numbing mid-eastern wars - some say which have been going on amongst those war-like cultures at various times and places for thousand's of years - let it be this one with all its simplicity and grandeur, a symbol of freedom, sacrifice, and nobility behind which we can all stand and believe... I just hope that our great-grand-children aren't still fighting these wars as well in their own time. Clint, your "chair" debacle has been forgiven. Don't miss it.
