hear some jerkoff high ranking officer giving us a generic speech about terrorists hating our freedom. But when regular everyday people just say a
simple thank you that shit nearly tears me up and puts things in perspective. |
i tend to agree with you and it's hard to forget that people like voodoo aren't in charge and are just following orders and doing what they're told.
he doesn't want to be there. he has a wife and kid and now a baby on the way. that's who we thank. not those who send our boys/girls off to die
while sitting behind a desk but those that put their life on the line every single day they are over there. never forget that man.

I don't want anyone thinking I am some kind of pawn, you can keep that shit to yourselves. I have been around the block long enough to know theres
more to it than that. I am not some mindless drone serving the "Evil Administrations Corporate Interests".
I do what I do for personal reasons. Although I do agree the powers that be have made poor decisions, i find it hard to consider myself a tool when I
deploy to a region of the world that has just seen apocolyptic like disaster and we are there at the behest of those same leaders to simply transport
life saving supplies in and wounded out to one of our floating hospitals. Remember, not all we do is war Barcode, just ask any sailor that responded
after Katrina. Alot of younger sailors I have spoken to that have been involved in emergency response humanitarian assistance type missions have a
whole different view of what it is they do and who it is they do it for. I hope you are able to experience something that gives you the much deserved
self worth of serving in the US Navy and leaves little doubt about your choice to serve. I do understand the inner struggle, I dealt with mine in my
own way and not everyday is a bed of roses as you and I well know. Try to find some nobility in it, it's their, forget those ignorant FTN types that
close off to it right away and get one track minded about it all. Much love to all who serve in any branch of military or public service.
