For those who have not served this country in war you can have no idea what it's like to be so far from home & family in harms way. To hear of you who don't believe in our cause is nothing but a detriment to our mission and thus making it more difficult for us to serve. The bottom line is if you don't support our mission you do not support us. For you to challenge our mission is like enabling the enemies propaganda. We believe in what we are doing in this war. We've been there and have seen first hand why we are there and the purpose the conflict is serving. Until you have been there or have served before, no, you can have no idea how emotionally or physically draining war is. WE ARE AT WAR! Please curb your negative political rhetoric for the sake of those who are sacrificing so much for YOU. Yes, we serve our country for YOU. Everything you have in this life including your career, your home, your X5, and your entire way of life is there because of the sacrifices of previous and current men and women who had the courage to serve this nation. Yes, for us to serve our country was a choice we made and we definitely don't serve for the money or glory. We serve because we are proud of our nation and the freedoms we have. We are proud to be able to do something worthwhile for this country and all of you. Now, please give something back to us and give us the support we need to serve for you and your loved ones.
