WHILE AMERICAN POWS ARE SLEEPING ON COLD FLOORS IM SLEEPING IN A WARM BED!
- Thread starter HERESY
- Start date
I am in the Navy...
It is highly unlikely that I will ever become a POW because I'm out in the water. Now, I joined before 9-11 and even before the USS Cole was attacked. I didn't join because I am so gung-ho about military life nor because I am so patriotic. I really wasn't too sure about what I wanted to do. The recruiters approached me and at first I wasn't feeling it. Later I changed my mind and shipped out to basic training. My goal was mainly for the college money...
I can apply this to individuals who may be POW's now. Maybe these people aren't big on the military or even the country. Not all of us are. But, those who live by their word will do what they have to do. I, personally signed a document which stated I have to serve until August 2006. Sure, ultimately I am free to leave whenever I wish. But, I feel it would be better for me to ride out my first enlistment. I started this so shall I finish it. Same with some of these POW's, I am sure. They do not say, "who's the most patriotic here? yea, you're going out on the front line". If this was the case they wouldn't have had whats his nuts who threw grenades in the tents of his superior officers.
You can't really judge the pow's personally. This country's agenda is different than my own. If I have to kill people, I have to kill. If I have to die, I have to die. I am not lament for either one of these things. I do not have serious issues with killing or dying. All I know, even though the war is not righteous no matter what side you're on, is that I will do what I have to do.
Let those who die fighting in this war, rest... Iraqi and American...

^^^ your post above the MISTAKE one has A LOT to do with WHY i posted this thread.
REAL TALK:
i remember when the recruiters came at me. sgt.johnson. i will never forget this guy. he came at me FOUL. he tried to entice me with guns and firearms(pics of them). telling me that was a good reason to join the army. i told him i could get those on the street and to leave me alone. he did.
I DONT SEE WHY PEOPLE JOIN THE MILLITARY. THEY WALK AROUND LOOKING STUPID WITH THAT BOWL OR LAME BUZZCUT. THEY LOOK LIKE THAT SCREAMING TEACHER ON BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD. WHO WANTS TO WAKE UP AT 4 AM IN THE MORNING JUST TO JOG AND SCREAM YOUR PLATOON NAME???? THATS WORTHLESS!!! I'D RATHER STAY IN BED TO 12 PM AND WATCH TV ALL DAY LIKE THE REST OF MY AMERICAN BROTHERS. THATS *LIFE* AND I INTEND TO ENJOY IT.
BTW I DONT KNOW IF THE BLUEBERRY JUICE IS 100%. THE BOTTLE GOT TOSSED BUT I WILL CHECK THE LABEL WHEN I GET ANOTHER BOTTLE (TONIGHT). I'LL BE A GLUTTON AND SIT ON MY ASS AND DRINK IT ALL. NOT SHARING AND NOT GIVING A RATS ASS ABOUT THE POWS THAT ARE MOST LIKELY BEING CUT AND TORTURED WITH BROKEN BOTTLES.....WHY???? BECAUSE IM AMERICAN.
:h:
ps @willy thanks for pointing out teh obvious.

well, what you are describing is basic training. That only last 9 to 12 weeks depending on the branch of service.
I have been in for 2 and a half years. I do not wake up at 4am and begin jogging, yelling my "platoon", or division name. It gets more laid back once you get to your command, at least in the Navy. I awake at around 630, 645am. I brush my teeth, shave and dress real quick. Work starts at 7am. I am on a ship, but that doesn't mean we are always out to sea. Work is usually nothing big. And given that I am an electronics technician I usually just do the required maintenance checks to indicate the equipment is operational. My recruiter wasn't the big "gung-ho" type who showed me pics of guns and shit. He knew most people aren't like that. Now imagine this, I had long hair to the middle of my back at this time. H, I believe you have seen my pic since you have visited my BP page. So, just imagine that shit...hahaha...
anyway, I really wasn't about to just join the military. But, I figured what the hell, maybe I will benefit from it later. Then while I was in basic training the USS Cole got attacked. On the morning of sept. 11, 2001 I was going through "C" school. I saw the second plane hit the building live as it happened.
Yea, I really thought the haircuts that I saw military with were stupid. But, the Navy isn't as big on it as, lets say, the marines. According to Naval standards the top of your hair can be up to 4 inches long. As long as your hair isn't touching your ears on the sides, its cool.
Do not lament for the american pow's nor for the Iraqi's. War always equals death. No big surprise here. Even in the deaths of innocence, unfortunately. But, they live on, just not how we once thought...

Heresy I couldn't resist.....U said in another thread that U R tryin' 2 move 2 Isreal....Do U not see the Irony in that???
I see your Sarcasm(who could miss it), but on a side note, isn't these things U say go against the teachings of your Bible. Gluttony is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I don't sleep until 12 noon and I DO care 4 the P.O.W.S. and I'm an American. And I know U don't really think that your friends in Saddams Regime R torturing our Soldiers do U?... cause that would be against the Geneva Convention. See thats Sarcasm.

You heard right, I am a writer. My first novel was a vile urban story about the ravages of methamphetamine. My newest novel is a violent spaghetti western chock full of moonshine-induced debauchery and 19th century lawlessness. There are reoccuring themes of desperation, drug abuse, and the bleakness of human existence. You can find my books at THE ALAMEDA ARCHIVES in San Jose on, you guessed it, Alameda Blvd. My books are written under the pseudoymn STAGGER P.
Unfortunately, the only copies are home-printed, ghetto copies done on my beat up old Lexmark. I'm in the process of getting the books professionally bound , but i have to take care off all the printing costs myself, and what with these dire economic times, it's a pain in the ass. I've been talking to interested parties about various avenues for marketing and distribution, but currently, THE ARCHIVES is the only place that carries my stuff. Even if you don't go there to pick up my books, I still reccomend stopping in there anyway. It's probably got the best selection of underground cult videos, magazines, and books of any place I've been to. There's some really obscure shit there, and I'm excited to have my novels placed along side subversive treatsies and occult teachings. My buddy John owns the place and he just opened it back in October. I promise you won't leave that place without finding something of interest. Do stop in.

Im not a death craving induvidual but i support this war. they had plenty of chances to surender. And they didnt. Better 20 of ours and 25,000 of theirs. Everyone knows the risks while goin into battle. I dont have any sypity at all for the fallen iraqi troops or their greaving families. They shot on my brothers and sisters. Fuck em.
