and here is the input from an Austrian soldier. Listening to it you will get an excellent comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in military warefare and...

The difference between the intellectual that is a show master interviewer and a top level soldier that is an strategist Officer of the Austrian military and the thinking I represent here becomes clear when they talk about Terminator and no one mentions Kyle Rease.
For both, successful in the Free World called West, Terminator is about a robot war that trys to destroy and enslave mankind, for everyone I played Basketball with when the 1, Armoured Infantry Devision still had their main barraks in my home, Terminator was about fighting without having a chance against an all mighty enemy that cannot be destroyed. To not surrender, even down like Rocky, to stand up or at least crawl. To fight for things only a powerful man can call simple things.
My friends fight for our cause somewhere far away and I might never know when I am down on the ground outnumbered fighting the deadly readout to get air into my lungs again, get my legs below my chest and start moving. And so I will not pass any opportunity to fight for others that might never know.
All the Germans around me consider pathetic and make jokes about, is holy to us. Things that are not simple anymore, things we fight for, things others have to learn respecting again:
freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope
I am part of the IRA, because I do that also by violance
especially against a nation that believes only itself may use force
despite its pethetic history
of murder and lies
I am IronClad The Goblin
A Provos Centurion Deadhed
