US Military 18+

So this past weekend I spent in Norfolk VA. It was a fun, heartbreaking and amazing experience. Which leads into why I am blogging about the US Military. While in Norfolk I went to Yorktown and walked on the battle grounds that secured what we now call America.

We walked in the trenches, and tried to imagine what it was like laying down in the trenches, looking over just enough to see the battleground, firing mortars and cannons and rifles and how it must have felt to know that if you lost this battle, you very well could have lost America. Just beside the battle ground we saw one of many graveyards. As we entered one of the first stones we saw read "one unknown soldier". This tore at the heartstrings, as we walked we saw many names, and where they were from. Most from the New York infantry. Further in we saw stones that read "two unknown soldiers" and "three unknown soldiers" This was a hard thing to see. As we walked further the pride and sorrow swelled in my body.
The US military is the same today as it was so many years ago. Today, brothers and sisters in arms are fighting for America just as we continuously have since the start of our military. Most of America supports our troops which they damn well should. I can remember a time shortly after my desert tour having a welcome home lunch thrown for me, and this little kid, had to be like 5 or something, loved to play "soldier". He had a little toy gun he would run around with. Him and his mom came up to me and she knelt down and told her son "that is the man who just fought in the war". This little kid snapped to attention like he had just left Basic Training and threw his hand against his forehead to salute me. One of my proudest moment sin the Air Force. But that is the way America should be, they should remember that without the military, all branches, America would not be here. And for the most part, it is. But there are those people, the ones who think we are baby killers, that we are just war hungry, and violent.
Thankfully I have not been in a situation where someone bashes the military in front of me, I really don't know how I would react. But these people who say terrible things and have no respect for us they don't realize that millions of us have died for the to have the right to be such cocksuckers. We are fighting a war today and in years past so that they are free to say whatever they want, but these bastards don't realize without us, they would be speaking French, or German, or be slaves. These heartless, soulless, gutless ass fucks don't deserve to be in America. Fuck their opinion, its not needed, I would care less if all of these selfish fucks died, America would be better off. Now, all of this said, there are many people who support the troops with all of their heart, but not the war. This can be for many reasons flawed or not. And these people may not even support our leadership in the great land. But at least they are smart enough to know that without the military, they would not have the freedom and the right to think that.
I have many friends who are in the service of every branch, and with as bias as we all are about our specific branch, no branch would be where they are without the sister branches. This is proven everyday by all of the joint operations. And even though every service member is not on the front lines with a weapon, there are some in safe places fighting a war, or even sitting in an office on the home front, with out all of them working together we would not be who we are today, and everyone of them would give their life to save this great country.
To all my brothers and sisters in arms, to all of the fallen from the very first bullet of the very first war, to every veteran, to every injured member lying in a stretcher, I thank you. You will never be forgotten by me, or by America. God bless you and America.
