Nobody, especially me, is saying that everyone is like this. It'd be idiotic to say that these things do not happen. Again, it seems like most people here live in a candy-coated world where every member of the military acts like a true hero, and whatnot.
So let me get this straight, the minute we stop praising the military for one minute to actually think that some things like this MIGHT just happen, we're being disrespectful and cowardly? I don't think so. While I hold the military up to respect, I do not need to throw on a military uniform and run around with a gun to protect my family and do the right thing. I'm going to set the record straight now, those who go into the military and aren't looking for praise, and only look to do the right thing, those who do are the real heroes. Those who come back, thinking that anyone not in the military is a coward and anti-patriotic, that's just an arrogant thing to say. You have to remember those at home who must endure the loss of people, and the parents of those children born into military families. Husbands and wives are gone for years at a time, while the other spouse is left to protect and provide for the family. They don't wear uniforms and yet they have to provide and protect. How does that make us so different?
Not once did I ever say I wouldn't defend what I believe in.
What I support: Finding and bringing down those who hurt and manipulate others.
What I do NOT support: People in Washington who send others overseas to fight an oil war.
I've explained this before. I understand that many people in the military do it for the right reasons, but there are ones who do not do it for the right reasons. Those are the ones looking for praise, and looking for a quick escape from their families, and to get rich quick, etc.
It's sorta like being a firefighter. Firefighter's don't put on a military uniform, yet they are heroic. Anyone who runs into a burning building, much like patrolling through a foreign land, has to have a lot of courage and bravery.
Now comes the real thing: If our country was being invaded, would I enlist and take up arms against it?
Most certainly. Anyone that has the potential to hurt my family, I'm going to take down. The minute someone would even lay a hand on my family, I'd be going after them. Family is everything.
I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.
