Damn, there goes another one. :(

I fear we will not see men of their timber pass this way again for a long time, if ever.

May he rest in peace.

I don't know about "not seeing men of their timber pass this way again for a long time", raketenjagdpanzer. There are real-life heroes in your country and in mine whose exploits may not yet be widely known but who will one day be legends. Some of them already are. Just reading the Badass of the Week (http://badassoftheweek.com/list.html) website will turn up a bunch of 'em.

Please note, in no way am I trying to diminish the respect men like Judge Compton deserve.

I was caught up in the moment; you're probably right. I hope so, anyway! :)

Not in the least; didn't take that away at all.
