Respect

I would just like to make it known that I have absolutely no respect for anyone who is against our military and what we do.  We do what we are told to do and that is it, no more.  The soldiers who were sent to Vietnam to fight were ordered to do so, they didn’t go for the hell of it.  It disgusts me that anyone would treat a soldier like shit because they fought in a war that was not agreed with by some.  Soldiers were spit on, flipped off, cursed at, weren’t able to get jobs and so became poor and homeless, and for what?  For fighting for our, for your freedom.  Damn hippies and their life sucking weed and drugs.  Who the fuck did they think they were to complain about anything?!  Those soldiers fought so they could have their freedom to smoke weed and get drunk all day!!  Those soldiers fought so they could chill all the fuckin time and sit on their asses doing nothing but complaining about whatever so they could get a little attention.  ANYONE who is not military, who has not signed a contract stating that your willing to put your life on the line for your country and thinks that they can bitch and moan at the military and spit upon the military can think twice!  Until you step into a soldiers boots and step onto that battlefield fighting for the only thing you know to be right, fighting because you were ordered to, fighting for the love of your country and your families then you can say something, then you have a right to be an ass because then you’ve been through the hell those soldiers and any soldiers has or will go through, until then shut the fuck up!  Oh sure you can sit back in your cozy houses and smoke your soothing cigars and drink your oh so tasty wines and liquors and complain about anything you want to because your safe.  But think again about how you have what you have, who gave it to you, who died so you can have what you have, a soldier did, in fact thousands did, and I would give my own life just for their honor, and anyone who would deny a soldier his honor has no right to even live in this great nation!  You wanna complain to someone about a war you felt we should not have been apart of, complain to the President or the government, they make the decisions, NOT the military!  So get your minds right because the only thing between you and thousands of blood thirsty terrorists is the military, all branches included.  Show a little respect.
