immortalize

Even though it takes me a while to update my journal i wont forget to give my 2 cents for the veterans. After reading some news sites especially of the massacre in Haditha. I dont blame the Marines. I would kill a motherfucker who took one of my brothers away. Civilians wouldn't understand. Go try and find the detonator for the IED amongst a crowd of many. Your first instinct is to shoot the fool running. Try picking up the pieces of body parts of your brothers and say it wasn't justified. I learned too much. More than I thought i would. My heart is scarred at the thought. I've been to close to death. Im scrolling through the list of the fallen and i'm hurting inside. For what? I remember rollin down the streets of falluja seein this kid giving me the middle finger. Fuck this shit. Im on the verge of changing duty stations now. I don't even know if we'll get sent back early or not. Im done with it. Might as well put me on the insane list. Am I being selfish? I'll fight for a war thats justified but this isn't. I'd give my life up for someone who would do the same for me. To those who died you got my salute. You are never forgotten. People tend to think Memorial day is just to have bbqs and get crunk. Fuck that shit the day is for those who fallen dont ever forget that. It isn't in vain. They had their ideals and dreams. Even if they didnt see through it all. He knows what it took. It took more than balls and testosterone. It took your family, friends, and loved ones to make that stand. out.
