So I began a discussion this afternoon, stupid me!, about politics while at work. I am in a stoked and happy mood, as I had just had some flowers delivered to a very special person, HUGS Lynda. So this guy asks about life in Iraq as a soldier, goes okay..... then asks some details about deaths, none of which I am willing or going to give out. Then he asks, very pointedly, I might add, "How many more must die, before you learn to drop your weapon and leave?". NO, I did not drop his sorry ass on the spot, I simply informed him as many as necessary to make his sorry ass realize, they are the reason he has the freedom to be stupid in this Great Country of ours. Why would anyone believe that a soldier who volunteered to serve this nation would drop their weapon for fear of dying? Look, I don't want to die fighting for my country, yet I accept that fact should it be the outcome. Don't pity me for my beliefs, just know that I fight and risk my life so you can stand in Anywhere, USA and voice your opinion to our elected officials. I may not like your opinion, but I will defend your right to have that sorry ass opinion. When those that speak, remember to speak for yourselves, not me nor my bretheren in arms, speak only for yourself, for that is the right you are guaranteed. Now back to being extremely happy, it's so close it hurts, a few more days and another adventure begins! See, even an asshole can't sway me from my happiness.
