I was in the Army in the 80s then was called up back on active to do the Gulf War. I did my time already and I'm wondering about them.
They gotta be tired and ready to come be done but we are on the brink of more war.... a whole new war.
I'm not feeling good about it. It sucks when you are torn away from your normal life and have to do time. Now, they are looking at more years to do.

In this solemn hour it is a consolation to recall and to dwell upon our repeated efforts for peace. All have been ill-starred, but all have been faithful and sincere. This is of the highest moral value--and not only moral value, but practical value--at the present time, because the wholehearted concurrence of scores of millions of men and women, whose co-operation is indispensable and whose comradeship and brotherhood are indispensable, is the only foundation upon which the trial and tribulation of modern war can be endured and surmounted. This moral conviction alone affords that ever-fresh resilience which renews the strength and energy of people in long, doubtful and dark days. Outside, the storms of war may blow and the lands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own hearts this Sunday morning there is peace. Our hands may be active, but our consciences are at rest.

I havn't seen any action yet but I'm sure it won't be long. I signed up knowing the world is pretty messed up. I trained for a job and I will do my job when asked to. I personally would prefer it if all this Shi@#$ would go away and people would just let other people live in peace. You know, find alternate sources of power and don't push your religion on others. But you and I know that is not going to happen. In fact, I feel this is the beginning of something far worse to come....I hope I'm wrong.

It is life. To expect otherwise would be an exercise in futility. The life of a soldier now is that of a Peace keeper an a police man. But if we didn't do it... Who would.
IT has to be done.

Yeah, it sucks. But a soldier's gotta do what a soldier's gotta do.
