RE: ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO DIE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES?
I'm surprised you didn't mention our active duty military and veterans who have put their lives on the line not just once and not just for their family, but every day of their service and for every American. After all this sacrifice, our service members rarely get the credit they deserve. We face our own challenges reintegrating into society and often find a negative attitude from these people we swore to protect. Are you man enough to die for your country?
My focus was not actually dying for others, but living for them, within the context of a family.
The military was beyond the scope of my focus here.
Die for a country that obviously lies to the people about reasons for military action?
No.
I guess that doesn't make me a man, huh?
Except, I feel this way because that is EXACTLY what happened to me and everyone else who served for the last 70 plus years. They recruit naive kids out of highschool. Train them to kill. Send them to war. And pay them enough to not care. And keeps them inline by threatening them. I'd say it takes more of a man to say NO to the machine before you end up being just another body on its gears.
Cheers.
I highly appreciate your sentiments. I guess it was more of a family oriented post by @papa-pepper Just sharing my opinion. I'm sure he can better answer your question.
Although I am not an American, if you swore for the protection of American humans, thank you for your service, Sir!
#family - you were correct.
I was at one time...
