Thank you for saying so, FRiend. I always keep a place in my heart for those who served over there.
People are flawed, people make mistakes, but…to get my sympathy, they need to own their mistakes.
There was a case recently of some woman on a cruise line who had both of her legs cut off because she was on an excursion from the cruise ship, got drunk, high, and fell off the boat, and her legs got mangled by the prop.
This is never a good thing, but she is suing the cruise line for serving her too much booze and weed. ( yes, I was surprised to hear they serve weed too)
Where is her personal responsibility in this?
Much the same here.
We were always taught to own up to our mistakes, and take responsibility. We were also told, before we did something that was questionable, to stop and think what could possibly go wrong, or what the repercussions could be. Needless to say, I was never a risk taker. Some people today want to be seen as a victim, despite the fact that it was their own personal actions that put them in that position.
