In the final analysis, maybe it all comes down to the question, “Why am I here and why am I fighting?”
If that is the case, the most common answer tends to be, “I’m fighting for my buddy beside me and the guys in the next hole.”
I know if gunfire started coming my way, I wouldn’t be thinking about defending freedom and liberty for all, I’d be thinking I’d better duck and I need new underwear!!!
Vets are an incredible bunch.
The only time I felt real fear was after 9/11, I was working in Rock Plaza and the announcement came out that a toxin was put in the air vents and we were locked down. It was a terrible stomach sinking feeling.
Do Vets feel this at all times in War? If they do, they are MUCH better man than I am and my poultry contribution to their welfare needs to be upped.
CUT welfare and SNAP except for the Neediest and send the money to our soldiers!!
