Memorial Day

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. You know, I write this blog because of a Constitutional right that I have to say stupid shit. I am very thankful this country allows this. More thankful that I can find like minds that would agree or people with dissenting opinion. I think we DO take free speech for granted. As we were raised in America, we don't realize there are parts of the world that this type of speech could lead to execution. Not that I condone muscling in on other people's country's politics, but I would think the citizens of those countries to be jealous of this.

Or angry. Or think we're a bunch of porno watching, dirt bags. To which, we could care less. Since they live in their own filth, and fear. A life should not be led like this. The Founding Fathers made it so that we can be who we are without infringing on others. And the soldiers defend our right to do so.

Not that any soldier fully understands this. Let's be frank, if we took a poll of soldiers in the U.S. military, we'd discover being a soldier is the best alternative for them. That's not a diss. I'm glad they've found a place that accepts their skill. And grateful that it's not me doing it. Though I'd probably be decent cannon fodder, I personally don't have a beef with a nation I can hardly comprehend. The logic side of me would ask too many questions, which is what an enlisted man should never do. I'd probably be fragged by my own platoon for being a smart ass fuck.

I don't have people in my family to memorialize in America. But I do appreciate service people who spend their day to day with even the threat of being shot at. To liberate people who don't even understand how great freedom is, is a pretty noble cause. I mean, it's a tough way to go, since you're not really getting assistance from the other side. I really dig being in America. It is the best country in the world.
