THE REAL AMERICAN HERO A SOLDIER !!!!!!

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes. He stays up for days on end. _________________________ You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water. __________________________ You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. __________________________ You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt. __________________________ You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. __________________________ You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again. __________________________ You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. __________________________ You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow. __________________________ You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He doesn't get to eat today. __________________________ Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean. __________________________ You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today. __________________________ You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. __________________________ You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home. __________________________ You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume. __________________________ You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet __________________________ You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting. __________________________ You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him. He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded. __________________________ You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the broken bodies lying around him. __________________________ You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does exactly what he is told. __________________________ You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat. __________________________ You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gunfire. __________________________ You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him! If it gets to another veteran who hasn't received it yet, it will bring back memories. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom!

bravo to all our men and women...

"respect must be earned,but fear works just as well and only requires a gun!"

And that quote could easily be applied to al-quaida or tha janjaweed as well as the us army

what would happen if we no longer had soldiers???? hmmmmm???

Ummm... no more war, mabie? DUH.

................

so im wrong for fightin for your freedom?

*walks in*...Doh! *walks out*

thats stupid...i mean if it wasnt for a war u wouldnt have the freedom to say stuff like that

Do not need soldiers to start a war.

unless you can tell the whole world to play nice and not fight...won't happen. DUH. i'm referring to our soldiers

NO i think that its one of the best things a person can do...another reason why i'm trying to enlist

so they just press the button instead

you make us proud thankyou..we may not all agree with the war...but I appreciate you all everyday

I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU ALL THAT COMMENTED NEGATIVE ABOUT OUR SOLDIERS I AM SORRY YOU ALL FEEL THAT WAY! I RESPECT THEM FOR DOING WHAT MUST BE DONE SO WE CAN HAVE OUR FREEDOM, AND WEAR A RED SHIRT ON RED SHIRT FRIDAY BECAUSE THEY SHED BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS OVER THERE FOR US! SO GIVE THEM A BRAKE IF YOUR UPSET AT THE GOVERNMENT THEN FINE SO AM I! BUT THERES NOTHING RUTHLESS ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING OVER THERE, MAYBE I SHOULD SAY THIS HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DICTATED AND KILLED AND RAPPED LIKE THOSE INDIVDUALS ARE OVER THERE IT ALMOST HAPPENED ON 9-11! IF YOU DON'T LOVE OUR COUNTRY MOVE OVER THERE AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE THERE CLASS OF LIVING, BUT LEAVE ARE SOLDIERS ALONE! UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW HARD THERE JOB IS TO LEAVE THERE FAMILY, THERE CHILDREN,FOR OVER A YEAR AND REALLY CAN'T LIVE IN A SOCIAL CLASS OVER THERE, AND HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE BEFORE THEY KILL YOU THEN DON'T COMMENT! I LOST A FIANCEE TO THIS WAR,DOING A JOB FOR HIS COUNTRY THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT, HIS FREEDOM, HE WORE HIS FLAG WITH HONOR SO WE COULD BE FREE AND HAVE THE LUXRIES OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRY OF FREEDOM! SO DON'T SAY THAT THEY THERE TOOLS OF A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT THERE NOT THEYRE HUMAN BEINGS WORKING HARD OVER THERE IN THE SAND FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

Nah, I commend you for _trying_ to do that.. but when your orders come from a corrupt institution, you're not fighting FOR freedom.. you're a tool of opression. You want to fight for freedom? Go back to your home and look at how protesters are being treated in your country. Look how your 'freedom of speech' is so safe thanks to your efforts.

i dont like war eather but i want to make sure my family friends and billions of other ppl i wont ever meet get to wake up every mornin..i risk my life

Look...this argument will go something like this "no" "yes" "no no no" "yes yes yes"...really useless and a waste of time at that.
