One of my favorite mil-bloggers is
Bill and Bob's Excellent Afghan Adventure.
His posts are always enlightening, educating
and often entertaining. He is gathering a large
readership and becoming quite influential.
This post is one of his best.
Go read and understand.
Ask questions, lend support.
He's been on my blog roll for quite a while.
I read this post. Posts from soldiers in the field always make me emotional, and I fine myself getting misty eyed most of the time while reading them. This was no exception.
ReplyDeleteHow can you possibly be considered a victim, if someone makes a conscious decision to step up, voluntarily make the commitment to put on the uniform, knowing that they may not make it home.
Victim... no
Hero... without a doubt
Amen, Mick.
ReplyDeleteAnd, those soldiers hate being perceived as victims.It is a message I strongly feel needs to get out.
