I am a 20 year old soldier. I started noticing something wrong with this country, I think at around the age of 13-14 when I decided that the Military was the way to go. Once I made that decision I started to notice things... The media was the main one, how the worst anti Americanism is right here INSIDE these borders. However I REALLY woke up and smelled the Folgers in my cup when the results of the most recent election came out. This being my first election I could vote in, I of course did my duty as an informed American citizen. So, I hope to use Free Republic to help keep my sanity as I seemingly run up an endless hill.
