A day of Reflection
Ok friends. I struggle these days. Not out of any sense of victimization or even as a survivor of anything. I struggle with the idea that it may not have been worth it.
I grew up in the 70's, reading stories of Korean and Vietnam vets and feeling like I wish I had been there then. Now here I am. 52 yrs old. I served in Desert Shield/Storm, Intrinsic Action, OIF, and everywhere else. I have been deploying every year since 2002-2017.
I stopped fearing death in 2005 and started fearing it again in 2015...now I just don't care.
The point of the post is this....when half of America is not worth saving, where do we say that its not worth it. Now I love my Countrymen. But I don;t see them anywhere...Its people who bend a knee to social justice and/or try to play nice and say "Oh I understand".
In my world...you love what we stand for...or you hate what we stand for...the bad guy is politicians....and if you don;t see that...then your a bad guy by default
So on the 19th year since 9/11 I say this.... I don't care anymore....I can be a really good guy, or I can be a really good bad guy....So call me a racist, one more time,,,,,and let see the dance we do.....
