And frankly if you weren't sure you'd be able to do that when the time came then you made a wise decision. So I'm glad you made that call.
One of my greatest fears wasn't for my own life but for my fellow Marines if I couldn't do the job. They mattered a hell of a lot more to me.

Yeah I worked through college and have no student debt and have been employed except for a small stint since college. I bought my first house at 25. I'm in track to retire at 45 ish.
You mad cus PTSD?
Sure you are sweetie pie.
Please, why don't you enlighten us with one of your tear filled rants on how ugly you are and how you will never know a woman's touch, those rants never get old, forever alone.
The only thing you are going to retire sooner rather than later is your dick, from non use.
Btw, don't get high and mighty. I owned my first house at 25 and broke 6 figures this year.
Oh and I get laid on the regular, get on my level.
And parents can pay for their education, and again the books still arent free, bashing the states for self-paid education doesnt score alot of cool points.
And because the government was doing some shady shit that is the soldiers fault?
You fail to understand the love of country and it's people that our service members have. How can they be blamed for what the President and Congress pull?
So you making all your snarky comments isn't helping anything. It's making you look ungrateful and obviously unwilling to sacrifice anything for anyone.

Good post, and as a US Army vet I agree. Never be afraid of giving both open ended support and criticism for both the military and the troops. They're often deserving of both, and it's through both that their missions and perspective are reinforced to themselves and others.
Always be critical of the government and its' uses for the military. Give them no rest in denouncing the overstep of their bounds and perogatives.
