One of my best friends was serving in Iraq when he was KIA. He was a lance corporal in the marine corps, who died in a helicopter crash in a sandstorm. Thinking about things like that and what so many others have done for this country is what starts to make me worry. My leave date gets closer every day, and every day I can’t stop thinking about how your whole life your parents and teachers tell you to “be nice to each other, and don’t fight” and in 13 weeks the marine corps can break you down and build you back up so that you can kill another man without thinking about it.
Thinking about it like that is what really gives me a lot more respect for all of our veterans.

Thanks, Mike. That was a great post. I served during the first Gulf War, but didn’t get to go over there. It’s strange. As an American fighting man the most dangerous place, the worst place in the world, is where the battle is, but it’s still where you want to be, because you know you’ve got brothers there. One of my boot camp buddies was on our sister ship and got to go, while we had to stay stateside getting Tomahawks installed. By the time they had the holes cut in the deck the war was over. And Saddam was still in power. Makes me mad just thinking about it. Give the military a job to do, then give them the equipment and support to FINISH THE JOB. Which I really hope we do this time. Since this has already devolved into a rant I’ll say this and then shut up: When the MSM barely acknowledged Mogadishu, and when we did essentially nothing about the attack on the USS Cole, I was so angry. Still am. But it’s folks like you who give me hope; those who appreciate the sacrifice and service of our military. Thank YOU!
