"You never swore to "die".
You swore to defend and protect.
It only helps when the enemy dies.
Now, get on with it - go that way.
They are over there, not here!..."

"What the hell do you think defends means anyway???? Spit at em? Look here you ungratfull XXXX...You dont think when WE swore that oath and when they shipped our ass to that godforsaken desert, slapped some ammo in our hands and said lock and load, We did not have chance of dying? You think those soldiers over there now didnt swear the same oath we did and dont think it might include dying? You think no enemy died then and now? Well let me tell you something...your wrong. Since apprently you dont know how a war works you should SHUT UP. Im stopping here cause I will not let the likes of you get me banned."

Hey, look, I was standing down Russian tanks no more than 50 yards away with a broken machinegun when you were still getting your diapers changed.
I swore the oath back when it meant something - when most of the people living in this country hated soldiers - hated men doing their patriotic duty. You swore it when it was easy; when most people fully supported the war.
So don't toss any drek my way regarding that oath.

It was easy for her, muawiyah.
She's young,
she never had to walk uphill down the mountain
in the freezing snow on a blistering hot summer day
to volunteer to die for her country.
Forgive the whipper-snapper.
I know you're a better, more patriotic soldier than her.
You dont know me. All Vets deserve the same repect. There was not one thing in this thread that would lead me to believe he is patriotic or has the best interest of the nation foremost in his mind.
