The Troop...
Hello, again. As you know i have challenge posted on here, im taking it heart. But here the down low on the whole thing. Sides i gotta lotta stress eating off me right now and gotta vent.
Ok, so im in the Air force as a e2 loadmaster. Yes, i am an otaku and proud of it but more proud of the fact im in doing something, beside talking bs about my troop. I know alot of people around the world and diff. bases where they stay at. I go to these bases and pickup the troop weather it be marines or army or SF or w/e. Most the time to the mid-east.
WE get there and i drop them off. come rotation time for the units....every now and then half the unit is gone....that other half i load later....... and fly back to the states. The sadest thing is too see a family get on floor and cry, cry cry..... they hold that flag and the dog tags.
I've still wet behind the ears out there, but i've had the pleasure of flying the best men and women in our service.
The thing that pisssssssesss me off is when ever i hear. " Those army people are killing innocent people in iraq." Thanks to a couple of dumbasses in uniform, americans have lost respect in the world....The thing is, be in their boots, put on that helment, grab that rifle and load that dope and aim and pull. That joke bout sniper and only " Feeling the recoil" is true. One time he was standing the next he is on the floor. It is a drowning fear when moving about out in the sand-box, u dont know if an IED is out on place or if the fighters are waiting to ambush your unit. Guns up, guns loaded.
Solider's die straight throught the ranks. It don't matter what country u are from people fight to fight. Why? Its just human. Without war, there will be no peace at home. That is why most of the norm can live in peace without having a fuel bomb dropped in their neighborhood or a vulcan just unloading on random buildings.
Yes, life is tough today. Money is tight and jobs are ever hard to find and be hired. But if you are not a person who can stomache the smell of death and yes their is a smell...very sweet enough to make you spill your guts. Then be very thankful of where you are at and how far you have come in klife. The question is are u warlover are a u peacelover.
BUt dont get it twisted that all the military is for infanty or fighting. Those who wear their uniform at home do there jobs and live in peace. The coast guard watches when natural disaster come at home and the army, air force and marine reserve also protect and serve each state.
But now when it comes to talking with a solider about war and your non-combat civi. Dont talk about killing, dont talk about how hard it was and SURE AS HELL dont say "thank you for serving US." You must think " Isnt it right to say that?" NO. Thank you for serving and killing that bastered over there that you dont know is what usally pops into head. If you want to say thanks in a way that isnt offensive. Learn to salute. Say "Sir or mama' Then give them an honest salute and look in their eyes. Turn and leave. Simple. We do out jobs folk we dont want to talk about the things that hurt us the most. I do hope people will join this contest. This war is still going on and the common wealth is doing their best send and give supply to the troop as well as USSO and AAFES and many other civilin and contracted military offices give to the troop. But in the local public...im no fool the norm just dosent care. I go to cons on times when i have off and meet service men and women. And evvvryy time. Thank you for serving us! It gets under the skin. The marines i know who had people say that to them. They get a solid threat, "you dont know service" It is real cold but true.
So, thats why i have this contest...cuz im an otakus as well and most my otaku brother are lost in lala land, show some art show some support. SHow that you know they are fighting while your at home eating under AC. This war is too long.......show the troops some support is all i ask as a military man and as an otaku.
Lotta misspelled word and typo's oh well. XD
THIS IS WAR check the link below.

Way of Otaku
Hi, hi everyone XD I havent put anything really relevent here on the post stuff cuz im on-off with work and stuff. But today was an exception. This is my opinion on "otaku".
Note: i've been an otaku for 16 year and currently in the US Airforce as a loadmaster(i travel alot)
For a otaku such a myself i either fail to realise that people just dont comprehend anime, manga, yuri, yaoi ect ect Depending on the person or group of people you encounter in normal society, a few things are evedent.
Who are you? What do you do? What do you like?...Normal basic question.
Now, for otakus such as ourselves we can communicate with other otakus or fangirls or boys easy. But, if your one of those otakus who works at a job thats offical or around an enviorment that is not "Anime" friendly, people tend to question and rant over
"why do you like cartoons so much??"
"Live in the real world."
"Those japanese cartoons are just weird, like you"
"What are u a nerd?"
"its just for kids"
"Only fags like those chinese cartoons" dude the list can go on. These are just example of questions most people in the morm would ask.
I work for the military and nothing more diverse then our uniformed servciemen. During work i wear my anime shirts and have my cellphone with 5 lucky star phone straps and my keychain with many diff. anime char. on it. Since i am to be a airmen under the UCMJ things are meant to be conformed to the UCMJ. ANime is not stated in the UCMJ. Point being when i put on my suit those anime items make me target for people who do not approve over such things. My room is nothing but anime merchindice everywhere, comics, magazines, figures, cards, posters. I love the otaku life as a single airforce man. Many friend come over my place and are just in dead shock of how much anime stuff i have! I am otaku, red white and blue.
Manny times i have been stopped about my anime items. Have you been seriosly lechtered by some person who cant understand what animation is?
For me i love anime and everything about it, without animation i would have never gotten drawing down, ever. I apprecaite the people who put in the work of making animations and items for us the consumer to buy and collect. As long as i live i be an otaku by heart and soul. I am that dedicated.
Thats my view on otakudom, but their are also types of otakus that can be as bad as people who dont like anime. "I know your out there!!!" Such as people who spit why that anime or manga is the best or what he or she thinks of a particular animation you like tottaly sucks. This type of otaku my friends and i have run into time and again.
Otaku friends
"I bought negima 22 today! Its about negi's..."
Random other Otaku
"I never really liked Negima, it just little girls stuff. But Hellsing is probb one of the best anime ect ect.."
Otaku friends
"Uh, ok? So whats your point? I've seen hellsing as well?"
Random otaku
"Well it just never make any point with hot girls and love storys."
Otaku friends
"Dude, its a story just like hellsing ohly with not gats and not bats, diffrent animation and story buddy. bye"
Random otaku
"...."
I thinks pretty much every otaku has run into that. The thing being with ego-otakus is either thier like that or just tryin to be an ass. Recommend to me an anime not put down what u like then recommend! But luckly i've meet hundered of awesome otakus around the world and there is nothing like a bunch of otakus getting together for one cause and having a good time!
The art of animation is seductive and attractive one cant help but enjoy the lines. Like most of you i draw on this site because i enjoy the feed back and the art people create on here. Such raw talent can turn you from otaku to animator, thats the beauty of art. A true otaku has no fear, love the art and expression of life.
Like i said this is my view and i dont know if i made any big point but i say
BE PROUD TO BE AN OTAKU, BE A HUMBLE OTAKU
Thanks for readin if u did finish! XD much love Peace!!
