<p>[QUOTE="justndav76, post: 538778, member: 17428"]You know when I was a snot nosed teen, for lack of a better term, and even sometimes in my 20's I always wondered to myself why we always had to hear about "the greatest generation/vietnam/korea" vets. I always kept thinking to myself so what, who cares. And I would always get upset and say things like well, I dont care if soldiers are dying in Iraq or wherever because they signed up knowing the risks, big deal. But as one matures one realized how stupid they have sounded, and what stupid, idiotic things one has said. I have to tell you that I am sad sometimes at how our military is used, but that is thru NO fault of the soldiers. I want to say to each and every member of the military that I appreciate what you do not only for the safety of the world, but for all of us in America. Without you we are nothing, absolutely nothing. This country doesnt do enough for its military active duty or retired and we need to do more. I work a job in the private sector where I make more than some mid ranked soldiers and honestly that to me seems wrong. Our military members should be the best paid profession in the country along with teachers because our future as a nation depends on it. To the soldiers that have experienced bad people, name calling, and other horrid stuff I say sorry you do not deserve that treatment ever. This country owes such a debt of gratitude to everyone who has ever served. God speed to those in harms way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
