My son for one......helicopter support for special forces. Often is on 
the copters taking in teams to hot zones. Such as the one lost in 
Afganistan. His mother is understandably piss that her son is used over 
and over in 'Hamburger Hill' excercizes, which is what, in the current 
Iraq environment the call and operation where they go into a hot town, 
clean it out, and then leave so the arab mafia can come right back in 
and take it back. "Crap Mom! We took the same town three times last 
year" He has said.
