Have you ever faced a line-of-duty life-or-death situation? If not then you do not know how you would behave. You may woof and pose but you can’t know.
No, I do know. Don’t question my willpower or morals. I was in the Marines and now I’m a police Officer. I would fight to the death in the Marines and I’ll do it now as a police officer. I know my training and remember it every day. I’d rather eat a bullet then have pictures of me, rifling through an Iranian goody bag, circulating thru the internet for posterity. Maybe you can sit there and have doubts about your patriotism but I know where I stand. If it would take me getting skinned alive so that my family and friends could stay alive then so be it. I’d rather say a few more things but I don’t want to be kicked off FR.
These are soldiers, not civilians.
