The Soldier~?

This was shown to me I decided to clean up the format and resend it, I thought it was good and think it deserves to keep being sent, but I would like to add that you can support the troops without supporting the action, they are just doing what they are ordered to do, which comes down from our Elected Government... think about it


Thanks to Bro.Jason,And All Vets Retireed,Serving Currently~





%26gt;%26gt;TO THE SOLDIER%26gt; %26gt;











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 wife 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 done.





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. His life depends on it.











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 Gothic.











If you support your troops, re-send Please to everyone you know.











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 Canadian Soldier.





One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.The Soldier~?

Awesome and so true.
I volunteered for military service, fought in 6 armed conflicts and now look at all the pretty girls I like without any quilt.





No one drafted ';the soldier'; he volunteered. Thanks for your service soldiers, we love you and appreciate you. Now quit you whinning.
