First, Every American is blessed, unlike any other on the planet. Even the most basic American history used to show that we, as a nation were cut from a different cloth. Coming here meant you valued life, the true semblance of more liberty and freedom than anyone else on the planet and the chance to pursue your version of happiness.
Veterans have always been willing to give up some, most or all of their life so that the rest could benefit. And if you have ever had time in any hostile assignment you understood the stress, the midset to prepare for that last full measure if necessary of yourself or your buddies. The weight was there and the ethos of the warrior culture, passed down was that there was weakness if you expressed the human frailty in all of us. We all want to live, but that desire when haunted by the extreme brutality and factual need to shut out emotions can, for some be extinguished. We lose someone closer than a brother that the rest of the world can never understand. We've done things no one can believe unless they were there. The intensity, the randomness, the insane 'luck", and indescribable misfortune others will never know. More alive and exciting, more terrifying and depressing than one can tell...
Then you come home,,,you come home to those who will not know or understand, or care. You come back to a country eating itself. You had structure, mission, results and the next mission cycle. Here you have snowflakes that are "entitled" to everything, people trying to tear us apart just to see the world burn. People expect to be handed free everything and to do nothing. We served faithfully, gave it all, and come back to get spit on, pitied or accused of being "broken".
We're the most together, righteous, dedicated, faithful, everlasting, motivated and forthright men and women on the planet....And we can't help save our own country or we'll be locked up in one facility, list or program or another for being the Real Americans....the only ones willing to give the last full measure for the very nation that marginalizes us with trite phrases...And finally when it seems no one cares and they've had enough of the pain, internal external or mental, they feel the only way is to believe the lie that it's easier to quit. I only ask you here, this one time if you ever get to that place...know that you are better, your life IS worth it. If you need to talk PLEASE call tel: 1-800-273-8255, press 1; or PM ME!!! I will do everything I can to try to get you to a better place in this life for you ARE my Brother, you ARE my Sister...
