Are you saying goodbye SD?
Lisa,
It's been a 28 year old war for me...time to get a life.
Well, it's been a great run, SD. I've learned a lot from you. I especially like the way you cut through the MSM bullshit. I'm going to miss that.
SD
thanks for the knowledge and sharing. Your site has been and is worth more than you may realize. It has been a pleasure and I am far ahead of most for having read all the posters and yourself. I will keep checking just in case....
whoooa!
But SD, there are other wars and battles to be waged.
Please don't go.
and what if this IS YOUR LIFE?
You help keep people up to date and in the know. You make us laugh.
You have become our friend.
You have taught me so much.
When I lay in that hospital bed it occured to me that this WAS IT!
This was my life! I reached out to you guys to feel like I made a spot, a speck of a difference for the better in this-that's what I desired.
But Your life is so much more!!!
Please give it a second thought...a nights sleep.
SD
I have certainly learned a lot from you over the years...best of luck in your next endeavor.
Any decision to retire from an ongoing and never ending endever is always going to be arbitrary choise by the retiree.
There is always a conflict. I cannot find a year that there wasn't one and it is said that there has been war somewhere for all but seven years of recorded history (weather is the reason for the breaks).
Fair winds SD
May the road rise up to meet you, SD.
Thanks for everything.

It's time for me return to private life.
There has been a glorious bald eagle soaring above garden every night for the last week.
I wish you all the best...you've been great.
SD, for whatever it's worth. I put up a tribute to you and your blog on my blog. A special thanks to your daughter, too. Godspeed.
I have read your site on a regular basis for some time. When I finally decided the MSM was not only biased, but incompetent I started looking for a better way to educate and inform myself.
Your blog quickly became a regular stop.
I just wanted to say thank you and wish you the best. I would also like to thank all of the regular posters in the comments section.
Thank you for everything SD.
I will miss you.
Maybe you will change your mind...I see things turning on us in Afghanistan.
I don't give up easily! 
I wish you all the best.
Lisa
This isn't good buy. More like see you later.
May the angels carry you on their wings.
You know Connecticut is not cheap and that is where a lot of the hedge fund managers stay.
Are you one of those?
What part of Connecticut?
I get busy at work and don't check in here for a few days and look what happens. I sure didn't see this coming. Like many others I am greatly indebted to you and also some of your regular commenters such as Bob, DJ and Anand. The chance to question blokes with real experience and first hand knowledge of military matters all the way from Australia has been one of the wonders of the internet for me.
I wish you the very very best SD.
I just want to know if you are the Soldiers Dad that is attached to Claudia.
good riddance, duped warmonger

Hey, someone's got to mong the wars that need it!
Well monged, SD. Thanks for all the fish!
I told you Russia was up to no good.
I hope we do something about this.
SD,
Thanks so much for you, your family's sacrifices. God Bless. I learned much from you and appreciate all your efforts.
I miss you SD.
