Army Uses ex-Gangster to Off Terrs!
In Mosul, a Battle 'Beyond Ruthless'
A heartwarming account! The Chief is cheered to see the Army using the native talents and experience of it's troopers to more effectively do their assigned job of killing people and breaking things in the defense of the country.
Given the opportunity to meet SFC Ruiz, the Chief would stand to attention, and render him a salute, along with heartfelt thanks for a job well done, an prayers for his safety and that of his men.
Two thoughts for the occasion:
"THE ESSENCE OF WAR IS VIOLENCE. MODERATION IS WAR IS IMBECILITY." - Adm Sir John A. Fisher
"PEOPLE SLEEP PEACEABLY IN THEIR BEDS BECAUSE ROUGH MEN STAND READY TO DO VIOLENCE ON THEIR BEHALF." - George Orwell
