He was killed by a roadside bomb June 26. The words that he has to say about the Iraqi people, the men he recruited, and his family are gut wrenching.

I'm just sick of seeing these fucking stories. And today _________ died in Iraq.  He was a good high school student, _________________________________________. A bunch more garbage about how awesome he was, end of story.

until you put your own personal life, freedom, and choices on the shelf you will never know how selfless and noble serving is.

that said...serviceman can and have been reprobates...liars, rapists, murderers...

but as shitty as they are, they have at least done one thing noble in their life. you might try to argue the merits of whether serving is noble or not...but they would be unbased...because of the nature of the word itself: "serving"...voluntarily...to protect you...period.

do not ever confuse the calling of serving in the military with a political ideology (I think many uninitiated younger people do just that...and that is a farce). leaders change...the house changes...if one was to base serving their country on who was in office at the time, we would be royally fucked.

but you have the right to be as tired of the stories as you want...for whatever reason you want. due to the efforts of the guy whom the story is about.
