So am I and as you say many didn't return alive or intact, doing a job initially not trained for nor wanted but having seen first hand and matured over years my opinion on a certain faction has softened but my sympathies will always stand on the side of law and order and those trying to protect it .

Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes" |  |
