Didnt I (Montgomery Gentry)
Didnt I make you proud
Go and lay my life down, when you called my name
I thought i stood for somethin, was doin the right thing when i went away
Now being back should be so simple but i keep getting these mixed signals from
everyone
Why do people sit and judge me
Who aint seen what i seen or did what ive done
Didnt i burn didnt i bleed enough for you
I faced your fears, felt pain so you wont have to
ya didnt i do my best
And wasnt home here when i left
Ive seen boys fall to pieces
grown men cry out for jesus, till theyre black and blue
I thought god was on our side, werent we supposed to be the good guys that
would
never loose
Cause i dont see no ticker tape
or five mile parades, sayin "thank you son"
Just folks that sit and judge me
who aint seen what i seen or did what ive done
Didnt i burn, Didnt i bleed enough for you
I faced your fears, felt pain so you wont have to
ya didnt i do my best
and wasnt home here when i left.
Today was a very interesting day. It all started when we were driving down the interstate looking for IED's. Well when we drive down the road we do about 35 mph so we dont come up on something to fast and get blown up. Well what happens is iraqi people are very inpatient people and thats all they think about is thereselfs. I can not describe how stupid and dumb these people are and they get stacked up behind us and get tired of driving slow and go on the other side of the interstate to get around. Well when they started doing that its time for us to turn around and go up the otherside of the interstate and we are now playin chicken with these people. Well one car with a iraqi male his wife which was pretty good looking and there daughter in the back seat, drove past us slow in there bmw and the guy rolled down the window and screamed F/U at us. Well this made me very upset so i jump up on the vehicle tell gunny these people just cussed us and i jump off the vehicle and get these people to stop. I drag the dude out and start screaming at him in front of his wife and kid because in iraq when you talk to a male it is disrespectful to talk in front of the ladys and make them look like a fool. So this guy starts screaming back at me and points his finger at me, And oh boy did he get it. Im not going to say what happened or what went on because we have tree huggin anti war fag people that make a big deal about mistreating people over here But lets just say i gave him one for ole Bill Brasky. That really made my day because you dont understand the rage that came into my body when he cussed me. After being out all week seeing my buddies getting blown up all week be lucky that it wasnt me and how it could have and all that it ticked me off and he knows now how i feel about it. Well thats about all i have to say for now im on my off time.
Wake up america,
