People watch too many movies and base their opinion on what Hollywood thinks. Just remember they live in a fantasy world. Please try and distinguish between the two.

Well, lots of John Wayne's out there and lets not forget the free speech/thought police. Everyone thinks they are a perfect little soldier. Never question authority, just do it!
To coin a phrase "War is Hell".. find ways to not go to war give peace a chance.

Been there, lost some shipmates, saved some lives and and had no say in why we were in a given place. My shipmates were the reason to get in that darn small boat when the waves were 50+ feet not because some fool gave orders. 27 lives saved personally 273 by the ship's crew while I was assigned. Over 13000 tons of illegal drugs seized over that time and one minor battle.
Drug dealers who opened fire on law enforcement officers including 6 Coasties. Two 40 mm grenades in reply put a stop to the shooting. The FBI was pissed but you do not shoot at the US Military.

I don't think you are soldier material.The movie "we were soldiers,and young" was a true story.Some just don't want to be in the Military and i find nothing wrong with that if they don't talk negative about others who are.

sometimes even if we do not agree with the reasoning behind a war we still have to serve our country.

War is hell yeah but you have to remember that it was war to that gave us the freedoms we have today. If we never fought we would still be kissing British *** today.
