About Me
THIS IS HOW WE SOLDIERS LIVE....You stay up for 16 hoursHe stays up for days on end.
_________________________You take a warm shower to help you wake up.He goes days or weeks without running water.
__________________________You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
__________________________You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
__________________________You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
__________________________You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
__________________________You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
_________________________You complain about how hot it is.He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
__________________________You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.He doesn't get to eat today.
__________________________Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
__________________________You go to the mall and get your hair redone.He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
__________________________You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.
__________________________You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
__________________________You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
__________________________You roll your eyes as a baby cries.He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet
__________________________You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
__________________________You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
__________________________You see only what the media wants you to see.He sees the broken bodies lying around him.
__________________________You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.He does exactly what he is told.
__________________________You stay at home and watch TV.He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
__________________________You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.
__________________________You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him.If only there were more men like him......SUPPORT OUR TROOPS...
