Well, I'm in the USAF as a F-15 engine mechanic. Never killed anyone, probably never will. I'm just like everyone else here, except I put on a uniform when I go to work. So the whole, we're brain washed killing machines is pretty much BS.

My heart & mind
![]() always resonates this quote ![]() when i think of those ![]() who sit on the sidelines ![]() and think they can actually ![]() even begin to judge some one else ![]() who is actually making a serious attempt ![]() in accomplishing something noble & worthwhile ![]() whether it is noble ![]() or not in someone else's eyes ![]() people say to me ![]() " oh, don't make waves..." ![]() and i tell them ... ![]() Waves need to be made.... ![]() and It is the person who is rowing the boat... ![]() who is making the waves... ![]() Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) ![]() Dare Greatly ![]() It is not the critic who counts; ![]() nor the man ![]() who points out how the strong man stumbled, ![]() or where the doer of deeds could have done better. ![]() The credit belongs to the man ![]() ![]() whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; ![]() who strives valiantly; ![]() who errs and comes short again and again ![]() because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; ![]() who spends himself in a worthy cause; ![]() who at best knows in the end, ![]() the triumph of high achievement; ![]() and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; ![]() so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls ![]() who know neither victory nor defeat. ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() White Bird ![]() White Bird In a golden cage On a winter's day In the rain White bird In a golden cage Alone The leaves blow Cross the long black road To the darkened skies In its rage But the white bird Just sits in her cage Unknown. White bird must fly Or she will die White bird Dreams of the aspen tree With their dying leaves Turning gold But the white bird Just sits in her cage Growing old. White bird must fly Or she will die White bird must fly Or she will die The sunsets come The sunsets go The clouds Float by And The Earth Turns slow And the Young Birds Eyes Do always Glow And She must fly She must fly She must fly White bird In a golden cage On a winter's day In the rain White bird In a golden cage Alone White bird must fly Or she will die White bird must fly Or she will die White bird must fly Or she will die White bird must fly ![]() |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ixKWmYux8&feature=related There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes. There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes. Girl with no eyes, who can she be? Girl with no eyes, she's looking at me. There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes. If I make a sound she'll know that I'm stirring inside. If I make a sound she'll know that I'm trying to hide. Girl with no eyes, who can she be? Girl with no eyes, she's looking at me. Beautiful girl, who does she see? Beautiful girl, she seems to be staring. Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know, love takes a lifetime. And doesn't everbody know, everbody know, love is the eye sight, it's the eye sight of a lifetime. She's just a reflection of all of the time that's gone by. She's just a reflection of all of the time I've been high. Girl with no eyes, who can she be? Girl with no eyes, she's looking at me. Beautiful girl, who does she see? Beautiful girl, she seems to be staring. Doesn't everybody know, everybody know, love takes a lifetime. And doesn't everybody know, everybody know, love is the eye sight, it's the high sign of a lifetime |

Well, as long you're waiting for him to come home it won't be so bad in the long run. You know what they say. Behind every strong man there is a strong woman :D

Please continue supporting our troops. I served during a period when supporting our troops was not done. I came home from a war and got jeered at, booed and even spat upon at the airport.
It was difficult for us to understand because communications was not like it is today. Peace rallies and anti-war protests and political news from stateside did not get to us. Even if it did, I believe that not one soldier would have walked away. We thought that we were doing the right thing and serving our country. That was the Vietnam War and I don't know one Veteran from that war that wants to be a hero, Praised or Honered for serving. We just want support for the troops that are in the battlegrounds today.

i hate how our brave men and wemon are used and thrown away by our govt.
i talked to a few military guys and no ones ever really happy with how they were treated after serving, nor do alot of them think what they are fighting for is right. its like rambo said "all i want is what every other guy wants, for my country to love me as much as i love it" but ya hats off to all you serving, i hope obama dosent go insane and make a hitler youtuh like civilian army. |
