I have a real problem that I need to get off my chest.
I cannot stand people that come on this site, saying "I want to see combat" "I'm going to be a special forces hero" stuff like that.
The whole purpose of being in the military is to be a deterent to the enemy so that you do not have to fight, and fighting is the last resort.
But these kids who have not seen combat(which I have) and have not been shot at(which I have) have no clue what they are talking about.
I was in Afghanistan for 3 weeks, and I never yeah never want to go back into combat for the rest of my natural life, and pray my kids will never have to go into war.
So people, please think before you post about war/combat. And take the advice of those who have been there. It isn't pretty, and should not be something to "look forward" to.
