RE: He Was My Best Friend

Interesting how the crucible of war can forge unlikely friendships and bring people, who would otherwise not connect, together. Of course, as in your case, it can sever those same bonds just as easily. Interesting also to see your description of yourself as a young devil may care paratrooper from your perspective many years later.

The wheel turns my brother, and we with it.

Thanks for the thoughts mate, a nice post.
