What happens when the right thing to do totally screws you over?
So I was at work a few days ago and my boss asked if I wanted to volunteer to go to Iraq for 7 months and I said no I'd volunteered 2 times in the past and after no going decided no to volunteer any more, the day after I find out a that 1 of 4 Marines in my section was going to have to go me being one of the 4, well one guy was about to get married, one guy had a baby on the way then there were 2, myself and a Seargent, with a wife and child, unbelieveably, he said he'd go because I said I didn't want to, once I found this out I called him, we talked about why he was leaving and at the end of the conversation I'd decided I would not let him be taken away from his family again, I volunteered to take his place, I called my dad and told him my plans, he didn't agree but he understood, I talked to my boss, and asked if they would switch us out but it was already too late the orders had already been sent, we know my views of the war and government, but I all I could think about was what if it was my dad? wouldn't I want someone to do the same for me? yes, I would, so I guess when the right thing to do totally screws you over, do it anyway.
