My best friends husband, who just turned 58, is in SC right now training with a special forces group (he is national guard) to go to Afghanistan the end of this month -- it has been a passion of his and for two years he's broken every barrier they put up because of his age --he's out done most men half his age and finally they just didn't have a reason to not let him deploy. Hard to make sense of it sometimes unless you are him --he has ranch, wife and four grown children and five grandchildren. I guess he now wants to do something for his country.
