So....were you that CSM from We Were Soldiers?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Not quite....did meet him though. I was a very young and silly E-4 at the time.... He was just as they portrayed in the movie...a very crusty old f*ckSo....were you that CSM from We Were Soldiers?
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Why, you young pup!

At least this thread turned intellectual. LOL
I was 12 in '75
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Sweet Jeebus, I enlisted for the first time in 1972
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

All of you squids are old farts. Crap. At least Prince had the courtesy to drop f-ing dead.Sweet Jeebus, I enlisted for the first time in 1972
And ANY day I can get in a good jab at Jim is a successful day.

But it's the same thing. He hasn't been relevant since the 80s either. The media is only thing keeping them alive. I'm like who the f- cares?

He was very talented. And....like many musicians....very tortured. Sad that many musicians and people in show biz feel they have to resort to drugs to live their lives.
He will be missed.

I've heard THAT one before. I have everything in the world and I'm tortured. Try having to work for a living and STILL not having enough money. Sorry, no sympathy from me for Cobain, Jackson or Prince. The only one I really felt sorry for was Hendrix. He was totally exploited by his managers. They took every cent he made and gave him just enough money to get a burger. Thar actually happened to Joe Lewis (boxer) as well.
Celebrities kill me. They have everything the rest of us would love to have and pull this "My soul is tortured" crap. Oh wah. "I haven't had to work in 30 years. Think I'll go OD back at the mansion". Crap, I'd have a really nice truck and new guitar if I had all that crap and invite all of y'all to aggravate me at the mansion.

He was right up there with Hendricks on the guitar
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~

He did not become a celebrity without a lot of hard work. In fact he turned his home into his work.I've heard THAT one before. I have everything in the world and I'm tortured.

Since when does money buy happiness?
We don't know he was tortured except he had pain in his hip. He was private, so we don't know for sure.
