The Sheep have been given their orders.

Their bellies have been stroked since September 12th, and they've been lulled back to sleep.

They've been told to forget 9/11 ever happened, Bush is a Nazi/illegal Pres/drunken idiot, and Hollywood is more important to their happy lives.

Someone tell me, why do I keep doing the job I do?

"Someone tell me, why do I keep doing the job I do?"

Because, Old Sarge, it's the right, moral, and courageous thing to do. And few are called to do it.

Because someone has to

Because you took the oath

Because your country needs you

I fought in a much more upopular war than this one. What the Leftist idiots said never bothered me. It was all lies anyway.

And you can always look on the bright side. "This is great," said my optimistic buddy back then, "we're getting PAID to kill Communists."

Because you're a better man than they are. And we're all better off because of you and those like you.

Thank you.

You don't know anything that's more fun, pays better, and you're qualified to do? Could that be it?

"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." -Faramir
