Somebody willingly goes to a place where people get shot and has his job as shooting people does NOT have my respect. WAR IS TERRORISM. Your choice to be part of something no religion nor philosophy condones. Media has made it's best attempt to make 'em look like a bunch of fun-loving goof-arounds but goddamn man, those rifles rip a man's guts out no problem. You know what DEAD is?
I'd rather go to jail than shoot anybody, no matter WHAT the reason. I'd like to shuffle off this mortal coil with clean hands. Sorry but this is reality the way I see it. I know about the amazing benefits US soldiers get, the way your studies get paid for etc etc. It's a sweet deal, very tempting. But is your happiness worth a life? Sorry buddy. But war in NOT OK. Being a part of it is NOT OK.
My granddad retired a Major, career soldier. And what I said above, this is how he saw it right at the end.
So you have to live with the stereotyping just like I have to live with the musician's stereotype. Yeah we all get smashed on coke and heroin and shag groupies and serve no purpose to our community and such. Stereotypes are everywhere man. I have to live with the stoner stereotyping too. So my humble apologies if I do believe that soldiers will have to live with THEIR stereotype.
Anyhow guys, I hate to break it to you but it's not just Attitude packages getting nailed in Chicago. Have a look around, Herbies packages are getting nailed bigtime (one guy has had his Herbies order re-sent 3 times now, customs got it every time). Sannies are getting nailed too.
SoS also lost a few there already. I fear for you guys what you are dealing with is an efficient technology to help Customs pick up on it. And Chicago is probably a test run. I keep saying you only hear about more from the 'tude because they shift the biggest volume by far. Truth is, EVERYBODY is getting nailed. Everybody. This is waaaaay beyond the capabilities of some jarhead. This is systematic and sophisticated.
Stock up on all the beans you can NOW. Your borders are getting tight it seems.
Are you kidding, almost every religion condones war.
