I am somewhat pissed right now. My wife is 8 months pregnant, a sweetheart, and a civilian recruiter for U.S. Army. And some dickless piece of shit took a razor to her company cars tires. Whether or not you are an advocate for or against the war that is going on right now please as a personal favor be objective about the soldier. Soldiers do not pick the conflicts that is politicians, they are upholding a commitment that they swore too.
I come from a family that has served in the military since they migrated here, and even prior to coming to these shores under the watchful eye of Lady Liberty.
I just enlisted this past Friday and I did not join on the premise of hunting Al Queda, blowing shit up, or spreading Democracy. I joined because I have a family that has needs such as insurance, dental and medical, and college loans to repay, a fledgling company to supply, and a family tradition that I believe in.
I had alot of criminal charges, from my teenage years, and had to obtain various waivers to join, this has been over a year of arduous pursuit.
I am not looking for a atta boy, a thank you, or a pat on the back, just a little human compassion and objectivity for the families and members of the enlisted. If you are so passionate about your view then contact your Congressman.
Last Fact: The Congress is the only one with the ability to declare war.(Article 1 Section 8) The Supreme Court has the job of 'interpreting' the Constitution, and as a result have implied the authority of military deployment to the President due to the 'interpreting' of Commander in Chief (Article 2 Section 2).
I have no illusions about what I am doing or in for, but slashing tires is a pretty chicken shit move. I can only pray next time a shadow creeping punk motherfucker like that hesitates and reconsiders.
She couldn't understand why and frankly neither can I, no one makes you sign up.
