I wish you the feeling of a tight shot, the ride of perfect recoil and follow-through, the sound of guns in your ears, the smell of powder in your nose, and the taste of salt on your lips.
I wish you the pounding of your own pulse, the exhiliration of being alive, and the satisfaction of a challenging one-shot kill.
I wish you to see the look in the eyes of the meek who have less than a fraction of the pride you have in being an American Soldier, the thanks of a grateful nation, and the joy of cameraderie after the sound of the guns.
I wish you the fleeting, overwhelming, and addicting rush of victory and glory.
I wish you Godspeed, good luck, and good hunting.
May it be so.

Mods,
You can go ahead and do whatever you think is necessary to what I'm about to say, but there is only one word that keeps ringing through my head as I'm trying to write this response.
And that word would be:
<span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="color: #FF0000">FUCKING-A!</span></span>
