This is my first Post on this Forum.
I am impressed with the generosity and the extended kindness displayed by the Forum. I will try to be as mannered as they seem to be.
I also look around and I see a wide assortment of Moslem personas which even though they are electronic sparks seem to be both elegant and sincere.
I am an American. I am an old man. I am a Professional soldier. I lived in the Middle East when I was younger and I have a wife from a distinguished family in the Sultanate of Oman. I have a son and a daughter by my wife and I also have two adopted daughters who are married, both were foundlings that I took as my responsibility during war. One I found in a bombed out train. The other was born clean of a Leper family. The father was an educated man and he was my friend. I raised his child as my own from her birth. Both married and I have five grandchildren. Their husbands are fine men. One is a body guard in the American Secret Service. He does work as a Marshall. My other daughter married a man who enlisted in our forces in Kuwait to fight beside us there. He was given American citizenship. He is a Senior Security Officer at a National Airport in the United States.
I am familiar with Islam. Like any religion it has good and bad people. Human nature is disappointing most of the time.
I may disappoint people here. I will try not to do so. I live in Islamabad and have a server with a National company in the United States who have a Sys Admin who is my son. I can post from anywhere on Earth and he will take my post and forward it to anyplace else on Earth. My son is half Omani, six five and weighs 230 pounds. he served in the US Rangers. I would have preferred that he serve in the US Marines but it was his choice and they offered him a very fine scholarship at Georgia Tech.
My daughter , also half Omani, is a Contemplative Dominican Nun in Rome.
I am working with the Embassy in Islamabad and I help facilitate the relief work for the Earthquake refugees up in the Azar. I am also a few other things.
But get to know me if you like. I wont lie to you. I will be honest and you will probably not like a man who is homest. Few people do. I was with Fourth Mech Recon and was in the advance when we took Baghdad. I went into Iraq four times on long range recon before the war even started. I was into Baghdad twice before the city fell. I was with the unit that went in the night the city came apart. We took Saddam City( now Sadr City) and stayed in the big Tobacco Factory there. My unit took Saddams Intelligence Archive and 58 prisoners. |
