3RD PLT "HELLFIRE" B CO 1-17INF 5/2ID
Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in Life After Afghan
Fuck I miss my Hellfire Family. It sucks to sit here safe in the states when you know that on the other side of the world your boys are fighting it out with a shitload of shady bastards. Part of me knows that I need to be here to get better, but everything that I am wants to be back there fighting side by side with them. I clench my fists and teeth every time I get an email that we have lost more soldiers in 1-17.
I would risk it all up for anyone of them, even the fuckers that I don't give a shit about cuz you know that "WE" are all "WE" got out there. I sat here on Veterans Day and watched all the commercials "Thanking our Troops" with a free doughnut, blooming onion, cup of coffee or a free food from a limited menu. Don't get me wrong it is appreciated but what the fuck do you think that supports? How about send some stuff from our home to the Troops that need the support not the ones that sleep in a nice warm bed next to there loved ones, watching TV going to the store without body armor and no weapon. Every time I got a package I felt that someone gave a damn enough to pack a box and put my name on it. That was the best feeling out there, well besides "Chasing the Monkey".
