I was in the A.F. for ten years. If I could be of any value, I would gladly go back in.
The American soldier has simple rules to go by: We do, to the best of our ability, carry out all lawful orders given to us. We go where we are told to go, any time, and any where. We do have our own political views, however those views are not allowed to interfere with the mission. When the shit hits the fan, regardless what service you are in, we are all brothers and sisters, and we will in need do everything in our power to protect, defend, and stand with those whom we share this bond. All of us share these words: Duty, Honor, Country.
However, we are still human. We shed tears. Our bodies are not immune to the cruelties of war. Our hearts fall, just as those whom we talked to as friends only 5 minutes ago have been silenced. We take this loss personally. One of our own is only in memory. When we are no longer in danger, we grieve.
However, let it be known that we do not forget. And those who take one of our brothers and sisters away from us should be very afraid. For we are going to track you down and kill you and as many of your "buddies" as we can... With that happy note, Have a nice day. :)
