One of my uncles fell in Vietnam. He was the most decorated soldier in his campaign, and his tank remains at fort Knox as a memorial to his service. I've read the letters he sent to my grandfather and it's really a hell of a thing. The first couple there was a palpable pride. He wasn't drafted, he volunteered. They grew darker though the longer he was there, with the last one basically just asking for a couple bottles of whiskey.
I've heard my mom say that it's probably better that he never came home, given how Vietnam vets were treated after the war. Nobody wants to be called a baby killer.
I respect that there's men willing to stand up for this country, but I wish they knew what the deal really is.

Viet Nam vets were only 5 years older than me. I knew half a dozen. Theyre all dead now but one. Jack was a Recon Marine. 5'4" from NYC. Got shot in the face and survived by drifting down a river for 3 days. His unit thought he was dead. Tough little fucker. He was a Mercenary in Rhodesia after the war. Agent orange killed him. The NVA and wild african niggers couldnt!
Steve got drafted. He ran down and joined the Air Force thinking he would avoid the shit. His mistake? He showed his intellect on the ASVAP and ended up clearing booby traps for the Marines. He was on a FOB that was overrun. He told me that he survived by hiding under dead bodies.
Dues paid for life! None of these guys knew fuck all about jews and some were drafted.
speaking of oathkeepers, I went to the Lexington green in 2009 to the initial muster, listened to Edwin Viera. Started to wake up around then and wanted to see what it was all about. There was CIA well poisoners all over the place. This one woman, I see her pull up in a nice Toyota, dressed normally. Watch her don a bunch of weird clothes, sparkly wig looking like tinkerbell or some shit, and then she makes a point of getting in front of every camera she can to talk kooky, wave around a magic wand and try to make the attendees look nutso. End of the event, she takes off the nonsense and drives away a normal spook. That alone woke me up

People tried to tell you. Those who claim they sacrificed for this country or for freedom are a lot like Cain. The price of liberty is paid in the blood of tyrants. No other payment is a payment for freedom. Cain wanted his sacrifice to be honored when he invented his own sacrifice. You don't get to select your own sacrifice and assume it's good or a significant sacrifice just because it's shit. The shit you go through doesn't make your sacrifice significant. Your carefulness in selecting the right thing does. You were careless and no one owes you anything for that. You can't just ask for a world of needless hurt and then ask people to give you applause.
I have to admit that it was a hard hit when I finally realized that everything I had been doing up to that point was all based on lies. I'm the guy that started asking, whenever I got off the plane and saw yet another new construction project, "Hey, what do you think the Taliban are gonna do with all this shit after we leave?". I never did get a straight answer.
"What the fuck am I doing this for, if not for my country?"
I also realized that the moment someone says, "It's not about the money.", they're full of shit. It's ALL about the money.
If we're all gonna be whores anyway, might as well get paid for it, right?
So I packed it up, became a contractor and started doing it for myself, my family and the money, pulling down $1,200 a day. Better living conditions, better food, and waaay better money. (And far fewer casualties.)
And the few times the "good idea fairie" took a giant shit on some higher-ups head and he started inventing new and stupid ways to die (I was on the QRF for Wanat, so I KNOW stupid when I see it), just the threat of having all the trigger-pullers saying, "We checked the contract and that stupid shit is NOWHERE in the 'statement of work'. Fuck you, we ain't doin' it. Unless you want to pay us WAY more money for that, we quit.", was enough to put a stop to it.
"If you're good at something, never do it for free." - some famous guy (probably)
And that's why, out of the 8 billion people on the planet, I don't owe a goddamm dime to any of them. jews either.
