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
