Ethical Challenge // January 12, 2008
Just to give you an idea of the challenges that some of my brothers and sisters face - check out this picture - unbelievable!
Note the caption from the Army website:Staff Sgt. Terry Dahl holds a real .9 mm pistol in his right hand and a toy .9 mm pistol in his left at an Iraqi police station in Seddah, to demonstrate how similar the fake and real weapons look. Coalition forces are asking shop owners to stop selling the toys to children so they are not mistaken for insurgents. Staff Sgt. Dahl is with the 9th Psychological Operations Battalion.

(My thoughts) Every day, soldiers whose peers would have to choose between the latte and the cappuccino at starbucks, have to figure out what is the real weapon and the fake one in a split second. If they chose "poorly" the press with not quit till they are in jail - go figure...

Hooyah Chaplain, I heard your heading across the pond again I wish I could be with you. As you prob. know I graduated Ft.Benning on Dec. 7th and I'm in the Infantry. I'll pray for you and your family.
Eric,
do me a favor and shoot me an email (not as a response to this post - private email is fine) with your contact. I wanted to ask you a couple things.

.9 mm? I knew the army liked its mouse guns, but now it's getting ridiculous.
