Well, i will say this. I am a Proud American Soldier, I am a PFC/E-3 in the united states army. I am a Soldier-Medic. In April I will join the 1st Armored Division which is deployed in afghanistan. First and foremost I will say that I am a soldier and not a politician. It is not my job to decide or convince anyone for/against the war on terrorism(iraq/afghanistan). It is my job to follow orders, wheather I agree with them or not. My own family doesnt agree with the war. My family is Muslim, they trace their descendence from Abraham, Ishmael, etc.... Though they do not agree with the Taliban, but they do not like the fact that their country men are getting killed. The crazy thing about my job, is "Medic" and "Combat Medic" are civilian words. There is no such think as a medic or combat medic to the US ARMY, the proper word is Soldier-Medic. This is because we are Soldiers before we are Medics. Our first priority is to Deploy, Engage and Destroy the enimies of the United States Of America in close combat, then we will administer aid to our fellow battle buddies AND THE ENEMY(Geneva Law requires that we administer first-aid, even to the enemy) My job is to pretty much save everyone. No matter who they are. Civilian, Insurgent, American/Canadian/British Soldiers...etc.. Wheather I agree with the war or not, I can not answer. It is against UCMJ (Uniformed Code of Military Justice) for me to answer that question, i can get a charge for it. I am no longer a citizen of the United States, I am a soldier. I do not have any right that you all have...i just have more laws to follow. But consider this.... If you dont pay your taxes here.. what happens? You get a tax evasion charge if you have the money but choose not to. If your poor, you dont even pay taxes...really... Consider not paying taxes in Iraq.. guess what happens? Your child will taken from you and put into forced Child-Labor, a child prison, or torture until you pay up. You are subject to confinement, forced labor, torture or even execution for that. Did you know Saddam Hussein was the PRESIDENT of Iraq? it was a DEMOCRACY.. but what was the catch? You were watched when you voted...and if you didnt make the right choice... a wide veriety of things could happen..including death, and that not limited to just you..... and Afghanistan... I wish you knew what life was like in the Taliban Regime. They robbed the people and raped the women as they pleased. If a women takes her top off in public here, she might get an indecent exposure charge..if a women takes her hajib off she can get beaten by the religious police. Women cant work, and most of the women are widdowed because of their dead husbands..therefore they beg..or prostitute themselvs..and are usually executed or starve to death. There are no pictures or music allowed...anywhere...women arent allowed to be educated. If you caught trying to educate a women..thats punishable by death. Steal something from wal-mart here in the states, they will let you go..or worse yet u get a misdameanor. Steal something there and you get your hand cut off. Psotitutes were gathered together in the local soccer stadium and executed by firing squad to the public..but who can blame them..they can not work.. and gays guess what the taliban does to gays..they gather them up and collapse a building on them.
Everytime you go to wank your meat to porn, remember that there are people who arent even permitted to have a picture of their mother. Everytime one of you girls put nail polish on, remember that girls in afghanistan get their fingers cut off. All of you gay people who complain about not being able to get married or federal benifits or w/e, remember that gay people under the taliban get executed...
Its not about oil ,but freedom. Freedom is not free..not at all. Its something that people take for granted. The reason why you can all put your heads on a pillow tonight is because their are soldiers out there defending your freedom. Just remember, if we dont fight this battle now..on their soil. We will fight it on ours one day.
