I am an American Soldier.

Some important things to keep in mind if you decide to read this. Firstly, I have a seventh grade education. I'm also the epitome of facetiousness. Things are often funny only to me. I'm a dual citizen, of Texas and of the United States, and I do not brook morons and stupidity lightly.

And I have the greatest job in the world.

"There are so many things I would like to write to you about, but I feel that it is useless."


Blessed be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

...Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows and destroy them. Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children.
Psalms


War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill

The Frenchman may fight for France, but the American fights for Mankind, for Freedom; for the People, not the land.
The Killer Angels


"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they get up in the morning, that's as good as they'll feel all day."
--Frank Sinatra
