If it were that simple I'd be gone. I'm still here because of the years that I dedicated and gave to "the Mission," that keeps me here. The hope that the mission, the Constitution I swore an oath to, and all the lives being risked for a different part of the same mission, will sometime in the future, somehow be restored, at least in part. It's optimism, patriotism, duty, and the firm belief, in the way it's supposed to be.
