CreekIP Posted July 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for posting that. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, I'm still moved. I know I'll be heading over there in a couple years and am proud to go. I was actually upset that I missed the first rotation because of IRR paperwork mess ups when I came in the Guard.

Kandaje Posted July 12, 2008 Share #5 Posted July 12, 2008 Greetings... Yeah, makes me think about all the propaganda we're bombarded with non-stop these days... I find it sickening. War is a force of nature - That doesn't mean that I have to like it. It SHOULD be terrible. It SHOULD be horrifying. Lest we enjoy it, and get used to it. War IS hell, and so it should be. Killing is easy, living is difficult. - NO cheering allowed... Sorry - Been there - done that - got the scars. I enjoy my hot showers to help wake me up now. Don't get me wrong - I'm not in-sensitive - Just DE-sensitized... - And I HATE propaganda. I don't like anymore, being TOLD what to think or feel. It disgusts me - when I see things like this. It makes me angry to think of all the youngsters DUPED into it. HUR-RAH for our side and all that BS. Death isn't pretty... Anyone who can participate in war, who survives, and isn't driven functionally insane - is a hero in my book. It takes courage to live, AFTER you have considered yourself Dead. Born again... - and is invited to enjoy as much free beer as they can drink at my house anytime they want with the other ones of us that show up - still alive. We don't talk much about it, but we do drink a lot of beer, and read our bibles and say prayers for those on the line. God speed them home. With their shields or on them. - as long as they get home... And Every Combat Vet knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBJ Posted July 13, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2008 Kandaje, spoken like a true warrior who has faced death and worried about those who yet don't realize the horror they are about to face. Thanks for those words brother. It adds some balance to what we all are told at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
