Good evening.

I didn't like to be deployed over seas, but it came with the territory.

I didn't like getting shot at, but it came with the territory.

I didn't like NOT getting paid, when I was in a foxhole up to my ying yang in water, but it came with the territory (thanx to Jimmah Carter and a Rat congress).

No matter, it was all worth it serving my country.

Speaking of Jimmah Carter, would you please sit down and shut the *uck up. You Mr. Carter are a waste of skin, and you take up too much oxygen. Dickhead.

Prayers for their safety and for the success of their mission, with our gratitude.

This article features a lot of female GIs - I know I'll offend a lot of women when I say this, but I'm still waffling about women in combat situations. I'm a woman, by the way, who believes anyone can do anything he/she sets out to do, but I still don't know if this is a good idea. Not trying to start an argument; this article just raised all those questions again.
