They All Come From Different Backgrounds - The American Soldier.
The Last Firebase Deer Camp ^

Like Pat Tillman's decision to leave the NFL to join the US armed forces after the terroist attack on Sept. 11 the bull fighter in this video, Chris Mason, a Professionl PRCA National Bull Fighter & Cowboy Protection Expert, has also become a member of the US Army assigned to the 82nd Airborne Infantry Division.

Many of our young men are enlisting into today's military because as Chris said: "I'm tired of setting on the sidelines while other people are fighting for my way of life, and freedom." They are not required to join the military, but they give up their care free life styles to; "To do something for my country."

It says something about today's young men and women, it tells me that they are not going to just set on their hands and let other people do the work for them.

Hooah!!

"I'm tired of setting on the sidelines while other people are fighting for my way of life, and freedom."

Quick, somebody frame this quote and send it to George P. Bush.
