I have several good friends (men and woman) that have served in every branch the US government has, even the secret ones (don't know the names, as it is/was classified).
However, the one thing that they have all said, is that there is MORE that goes on anywhere, then anyone ever really knows about.
You all talk about urinating on the enemies and make it a big deal. With all due respect, there is a hell of a lot more to worry about then if our servicemen and woman are urinating on anyone.
They are over there fighting for our freedom, their freedom, our families, and their families. They have to see, endure, and put up with stuff, that most of us only dream about.
I have seen many come back as if nothing had happened, and I have seen others come back and NEVER the same (nothing the military did to them, just what they had experienced while being over there).
So, with that, I simply would like to say that regardless if anyone was or is currently over there, please do not judge the ones who were or currently are over there. You have no idea what they personally see every day and have to deal with.
The ones who have gone and came back fine, great, but that doesn't mean that everyone does.
For all of you that have served or currently are serving to protect our country and freedom, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for doing something, that I did not have the privilege of doing.
