Woa partner. I never asked any of those people to do that for me. I am not indebted to anyone for doing things they only think they are "doing" for me. Again, I state, I never asked ANY man or woman to strap up and "keep me safe." Most people join the army out of lack of oppurtunity or to get college paid or to get job placement, if they even live that long to reap the "benefits." You can’t deny this. MOST PEOPLE JOIN THE ARMY TO PAY FOR COLLEGE, not to protect me. I assure you they are not thinking of me when they are signing that line. They are thinking about the $8,000 signing bonus. Sadaam never posed a threat to ME, so out of here with that guilt trip headtrip. Furthermore, my life isn’t worth saving. There is no reason those people have to die to "keep me safe" when my life is worth no more than theirs. That is sick. Sick and inhumane to think that death and state-sanctioned murder are necessary to keep you safe. That you think your life is worth being protected at the expense of hundreds of thousands of dead people (soldiers and civilians alike) and their shattered families. I can defend myself, and if I can’t, let the will of God be done.
