No - if you haven't had to experience that you are LUCKY. There is no "blessing" in it - and if so it's just dumb luck.
Also - w/ 3 Afghanistans, 2 Baghdads, Northern Watch, Southern Watch, Desert Fox, Bahrain, D'jbouti, counter-drug missions, a tough life, a piece of shit dad,a kid out of wedlock, a few sore throats and a few paper cuts under my belt I'd say that I've had the shit hit the fan - and you know what, I reached INSIDE and got MYSELF out of it. I don't need to beg "God" for invisible help that never arrives. Kthanxbye.
