The thing is, I think we agree on what we believe about the government, and unfortunately it is very true. To me, I see NO connection at all to it and what I did, though the orders were direct (some of which we were not even allowed to understand fully). And that is the problem that we can both agree on. That the purpose of our service is being used for other reasons. It is terrible, it really is. So, I see now more of what you are trying to say. You seem like a very understanding and peaceful person yourself....for that thank you. We need more people to understand the real reasons of our deplyments abroad, and personally, though I am thankful for what I joined for, I do not liek what I have done. I want to braek down and blame myself sometimes, but then I realize that my purpose is much different than those that controlled me. But the good part is, my family was taken care of, and I as well. When you go to the military housing or bases, it is so much better than walking down the streets of my town-or any town that I have visited or lived in thus far.Now, regarding the topic, I do not hate those that try to make a living, but do (now that you see the purpose of my services) dislike what is said and done to get there. It is people like this that make us fight. People that have more than most, that brag about it and take advantage of it. Terribly, they have a right to do it. Should a 21 year old bother me about what they say, or anyone for that matter? No, no physical harm has been done, everything is really fine. But for the concious of humanity and what I stand for, as well as others, this cannot be ignored. A lot of time and thought was put into what he did, he didn't slip up at the mouth at a conference or something, but again, I think he might have said it because he too might hate that we are at war...possibly? I am not sure, but the words as they were said, first was directed to the wrong part of the government, second, should not have been said in the first place, the way it was. Even at 21, the professionalism, especially for how sensitive the world is to war, and ironically the time it was said (close to 911), many of us assume he means harm. I think he should explain why he said it, without bullshitting us. Personally, I can obviously live on with this being said, but still feel some hatred was involved, maybe based on confusion of what we stand for vs what we do. A lot will be said about this, and maybe he can figure a way to fix it. Let's hope.</blockquote>
