I find myself asking just what the hell was the point of serving this country? Why the hell did we bother?

I think that many of us thought that we were preserving the foundations of what made us the greatest country in the world. Pretty simple and not a bad idea, even today. We have work to do!

Some of us who did time in Iraq are asking the exact same question, believe me.

“I find myself asking just what the hell was the point of serving this country? Why the hell did we bother?”
Every now and then that thought creeps into my head, but I quickly squash it. I come from generations of service to this country. The country hasn’t failed us, the leadership has. It’s our task to keep the torch lit, and act when the time becomes completely necessary. I fear that time is coming sooner than a lot of us want it to. For now, I will continue to serve the idea of the Founding Fathers and keep the faith until my last breath. There is no place left to run, and no one is going to come to our aid. WE MUST STAY ON WATCH AND BE THE POINT MEN (AND WOMEN) TO LEAD THE OTHERS OUT OF THIS.

My WWII-era dad always stressed the importance of valuing everyone who served. You did your part, and deserve our thanks.

Self respect. That’s why I served in USAF 1968-1972.
