I'm an American and I was a soldier. Soldiers do a job, often selflessly for shitty wages. Heroes are make-believe. Soldiers are merely subjected to events that are more likely to create a heroic narrative. I'd rather be a soldier any day, at least then I'm not fake.Zhukov said:The distant rumbling noise you can hear right about now is the sound of several thousand Americans grinding their teeth.

First, thanks for the sentiment; it's nice to be appreciated. Second, if you'd like to really make a difference in the lives of veterans, support VA reform. An improved VA system can make a positive impact in the lives of thousands of troops and all it takes is the interest of the voters. I know that's a heavy comeback just for a thank you, but the activist in me likes to spread the word about positive change.

No, actually I like that post. I wouldn't call it a heavy comeback, just sharing your passion for something that is really important.Gorrath said:First, thanks for the sentiment; it's nice to be appreciated.
