After 14 years, 3 overseas tours, 2 combat deployments and the Combat Action Badge, I can say that being a Soldier is its own reward. If you lack the guts and spine to stand up for your country, stand up on the shoulders of the brave vets that have bequeathed our freedoms to us, if you do not think that a few years of physical sacrifice are not worth sustaining this great and free nation, get the hell away from recruiters and go home. We are a nation of 300 million people relying on the sacrifcies of only 3 million military personnel, and those who are in uniform know the cost of preserving our freedoms, and it has nothing to do with posting bold statements on an internet bulletin board behind some anonymous username. If you lack the courage, forget about the benefits and support those who lay it all on the line.
