Ben Roberts Smith: pride goeth before the Fall. You have fallen, dear Ben. Pour yourself an icy beer into the prosthetic limb and have a deep sigh. Why you? Well...there's a reason for that. There's stuff you should do, and there's stuff you should not. I know its a drag, but that's true. Sure, we should never have gone to war in Iraq or Afghanistan, they were evil errors of governance, but, still, there on the ground, once you're there and you wanted to be there, you just don't cut loose, you have to make sense of it in a way that doesn't involve killing innocent muslim folk and poor families who actually have to live there. There's a lesson in that for you. It's a life lesson. Learn it.
