I am so sick and tired of this bullshit. 13 fucking marines die for no good reason, and they are not the last and sure as fuck not the first. All for what? So we can lower the flags to half mast and 1 month later everyone will have forgotten? All of the innocents killed because we didn't pull out in May. All of the men and women with limbs blown off and severe trauma, and those are the ones that survived. All for what? So the deep state and cohorts have their little sandbox to play in while good patriotic Americans give their lives year after year in these forever wars. And the one man who wanted to put an end to this bullshit and not start any new wars is demonized like all good men trying to do something just and righteous.
Meanwhile we are too focused on Mr. Potato Heads gender and whether watermelon is racist. When will people wake the fuck up to the fact they are trying to divide us because together an American nation united under a just cause, there is nothing we can't accomplish. But honestly we don't deserve freedom, Alexander Hamilton said "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." He was damned right. I don't know about you all, actually I think I do, but I much prefer our freedom and so help me God, I will not let every other man and woman who has sacrificed to keep this dream alive, I will not let their sacrifices die in vain.
This is bullshit! When are we going to wake up? Half the country is wearing masks and taking a shot of God knows what because the talking box on the wall says to. Fuck this shit. I'm done. What the hell is it going to take to wake these people up. I am by no means saying we should ever get violent, but I am not going to lie, I feel like burning myself on fire like that monk to protest this shit. What else is going to wake these fuckers up? I finally understand why he did it, and was able to just sit there while the smell of his burning flesh wafted through the air. He did not like the direction we were headed as a world and honestly I don't blame him one bit. This world is immoral, and if 13 marines lives don't matter to these fuckers then whats one 22 year old who sacrificed nothing in his life going to do? Probably nothing, but I am so fucking tired of this bullshit. No one wants to take a stand and peacefully protest together, these truckers are giving me hope, but when half the country trusts a confirmed pedophile sniffing children on camera and calling service members stupid bastards not once but twice I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm not going to do anything rash like that monk, but I finally understand him. I have trust in the plan, im just so fucking tired of people needlessly dying like pawns in chess to these evil fucks. o7 to all you who have sacrificed I can't begin to imagine your frustration when mine is already this high, you have actual brothers in arms you knew blasted to bits by landmines and fucked up for life with shell shock. I'm so sorry we as civilians let you down and give more shits about Mr. Potato Heads gender and Dr. Seuss being racist. Seriously, I salute you. You mean the world to us all, without you and your sacrifices none of us would be free. God has a place reserved in heaven for you all. Thank you for all of your service.
I only wish I knew how to do more. I'd be enlisted if I could but as far as I know I'm not eligible. The past year or so has made me want to try talking to a recruiter again. It'd be my dream to serve. Right now all I been doing is praying hard, connecting others with Christ, and trying to help in any way I can. Thinking about volunteering somewhere, I'm tired of not contributing when so many others have given so much. It's my honor to help those that have given so much for so little. I got a few buddies recently enlisted right now and I think about them often and pray, maybe I should more. Thank you for your service
Reach out to other like-minded people in your area. Possibly start an organization with those people. Put your heads together to figure out something to do in your area. We don't all have to, or can, do things on a large scale.
Not everyone can serve, and that's ok. So, if you're not eligible, that's ok. The only way to find out is to talk to a recruiter.
Thank you for recognizing my service.
I feel I was born to serve and the only thing holding me back is a stupid technicality. I'm going to fight it with all that I got. Both my grandfathers served one in WW2 island hopping and the other stationed during the missile crisis. Every bone in my body tells me I should be standing alongside my fellow countrymen. I'm in perfect physical condition and I am tough under pressure, I've always been mature for my age after being shot at in my bedroom at the age of 12. I never fit in with this generation fixated on material bullshit. My favorite subject in school was history and I loved reading of all the brave men and dreaming to be as brave as them. It kills me being healthy and having the will to fight for what I believe in all to just be held back by a technicality. I will do all that I can and have been trying to organize locally as much as I can but people my age are too focused on tik tok and bs. That's why I hang in cigar lounges. I hate this bullshit generation I am a part of. I just want to give back to those that gave me the freedom to have a wonderful childhood up until I was 12. I was hospitalized for depression because of it and went through a lot of shit. It's why I turned to Christ. I met so many fucked up people on my journey even killers, and when they said they knew the lord would forgive them I believed in. All because I was in the hospital for depression as a kid I don't believe I can legally own a gun now and that's what makes me think I can't serve, I talked to a recruiter before and he told me the same thing. I'm gonna try again because it's my dream. I have so much respect for you veterans and the only thing that would get me through some nights was thinking of the soldiers such as the ones in Vietnam and knowing whatever I was going through they been through so much worse. It toughened me up and turned me into the man I am today. The only thing that gave me strength at all was knowing what those men endured. Again thank you so much for all you and others have sacrificed. I love all of you. It fucks me up seeing veterans on the streets. I don't get this fucked up world where our heroes are suffering after they served so valiantly.
I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I suggest you ask a recruiter if there is some kind of waiver s/he can submit in order for you to join. I'm not sure of the current regulations so asking is all I can recommend.
