I'd say the people crying racism must be racists themselves to assume that no whites would fit that profile.

In my “Twilight Tour,” just prior to retirement, I helped “run” a Military Training Facility in the “Republic of Texas” that LEO’s from the Local, State, and Federal level used on a weekly basis. I still hang out with a couple from the local Sheriffs Department that I met at the local range and through a Martial Arts Academy where I practice. From what I’ve heard second hand through these friends and acquaintances within the LEO community, I’ve got to say that what I hear in your stories rings true. <BR/><BR/>Most “war” stories in the military and LEO community, which my “boss” (peace be upon her) would call testosterone laden, alcohol influenced lies (that lady just doesn’t have a sense of humor about certain things) follow, for the most part, a simple pattern. Through no fault of the storyteller’s part, something interesting/scary/stupid/funny happens and by luck; be it blind/bad/ or other, the storyteller muddles through, somehow or another without being to badly abused. Not only is the story, if told well, good entertainment, it is also a teaching point for the newer, less experienced members of the community. Which reminds me of the red, flashing light and the night parachute drop…<BR/><BR/>The problem, as I see it, is that folks who have never been out on the “pointy end” just can’t understand the mindset of folks that have “walked the walk.” They are huddled in their soft, well-protected cocoons where the toughest thing they have to face is a harshly spoken word directed towards them by one of their co-workers or boss. (One of these days I need to tell you the story about the inter-reaction I had with some folks from the Foreign Service on a small island in the Caribbean.) <BR/><BR/>Even though I no longer “run with the big dogs” (to old, fat, bald and slow these days) I can still relive the good old days (vicariously of course) by hanging out with the Young Turks at the Dojo and the Range, and at your blog. Unless the Sheriff tells you to “tone it down a bit,” and if it continues to bring you as much pleasure to write your tales as it brings me and others reading them, I would disregard the “PC” ankle-biters: “Sod ‘em” as one of my Brit “Para” buds would say. As a transplanted Texan residing in the “People’s Republic of North Carolina” your stories of home, and the Law Enforcement Community brighten my day immeasurably. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Illegitimi Non CarborundumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-1144508840113109652006-04-08T10:07:00.000-05:002006-04-08T10:07:00.000-05:00What all the above said...
