Out of contempt for the world we would see it burn.
Though wrong we will not follow where hate leads,
but through it do good and be not what hypocricy breeds.
Yet to live in strength or position does not equal right.
But that in reverse we can find that we are all good,
that to be strong and just would be right overcome might.
Ill tell you I loved the army up until a few weeks ago. I get called by some former soldiers of mine asking me to come to look after them and make sure they get home safe from drinking. They are drunk to the point of no return running around residential neighborhoods and acting stupid. And all the while I'm driving around looking for them....

Already have they told me that if the unit attempts to push the issue it will get thrown out and they can not punish me for trying to do the right thing. Needless to say they can still make my life hell which they have. But thanks. I take it your in the service?
I have thought that values would be paramount in the military. I have been proven wrong. These Ideals we hold sacred to foster respect, loyalty, selfless service, Duty, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage are found wanting in many. To what extent I never knew but I can tell you now the words and deeds of those appointed above me are less then honorable and to do...

I can only imagine how disappointed you must be. Army has been such a huge part of your life, and for it all to end like this must be heartbreaking. Nothing is ever black or white, there are always shades of grey, especially when it comes to extremes like wars. You stay true to your beliefs and values, and let the rest of the world take care of itself.
I have done quite a lot in my time in the service and I had always feared leaving it. But I look around and see people I used to know changing and progressing in their life and I can only compare it to my own. Now I can say without a doubt I have done things they won't ever get to do in their life...

So I deploy and get back. I fill out all the paperwork I need to go on leave. And well I put my hopes in the hands of people that should do their job. But go figure it didn't happen.

That sucks. I feel that during the holidays it's 10 times more stressful. Hope you're leave is good though!
The soul with no purpose wonders in doubt.
Of how to live and what life is about.
This is its prison ,a cell with no walls.
Waiting for reason till destiny calls.
Should hate be fairer lodged then gentle love. I know it is so random but for the truly romantic the rest of the sonnet is beautiful.

Totally had to google that... Unfortunately, I've never read Shakespeare in English, only Croatian translation.
illmadeknight:
LOL well how was it in Croatian?
Happy veterans day beauties!
So I'm heading back to the states and the wait is terrible but I cant help miss my buddies that are still staying here.

Welcome home!
Go figure I lost most of my sanity somewhere on the path to where I am right now. But what ever is left sure is getting put through the ringer. I can not go to much into the topic but ill just say that someone in my chain of command doesn't feel the need to work on deployment awards and reenlistment paperwork. Well for those...
