Okay, well I am officially back in the states, WA to be exact. I have already ran into some bullshit. Well, I wouldn't really call it bullshit, just people trying to understand something that there is no real reason to understand. I am a soldier I have spent 26 months of a 2 and a half year enlistment deployed, which is not fun, but eh, it was my decision to sign up and I would trade it for anything. The only problem I have is when people tell me that I don't have a soul, why because I have seen death, or because I choose not to talk about what I dealt with or am dealing with over there. I chose my career path, I raised my right hand, I grabbed my kit, weapon, assault pack, and hopped in the truck and drove days and nights. If I don't chose to talk about what happened over there then please leave me the fuck alone. Yes, to an extent my deployment has made me a lil numb, but it is because you are not ready for what a soldier deals with. If you would like to hear a soldier's story, then raise your right hand and come enjoy an all expense paid vacation to the Middle East, and feel the sand and heat in your face 26 hrs a day. Know that your life is on the line every fucking second you are there, and then tell me how I feel....



More to come, brb, lol
