Choices

Andi has this article about the supposed support of our troops by Code Pink[o] and this one statement is enough to blow my caskets whenever I hear it:

Remember the tragic story of Sgt. Leonid Milkin, the soldier whose family was brutally murdered while he was serving in Iraq? Take a look at the lovely words of condolence the anti-war crowd left on an AOL thread regarding Sgt. Milkin.

Maybe he signed up for the wrong profession because who in their right mind would want to be a army man? He should have studied harder in school and found a real job instead of joining the army. Lmao , be all u can be? Don’t patronize me ! People who join the army either have no education or come from small towns.. He should blame himself for his family dying due to his lack of education.

I took out Andi’s bolding and added mine. You don’t know how many damn times I’ve heard this line and each time I do, my blood pressure rises, my fists clinch and all I want to do is choke the person until their eyeballs pop out.

It  must be reallly nice to have everything handed to you  - life, education, etc.  Well I didn’t have a choice Ms. Commi Pinko bitch.  I grew up in a small town in southern Minnesota with no hopes of having anything in my life except a depressingly dull job at the local lawn mower plant, or marrying one of the local farmer bubba’s and producing children until my womb fell out.  

That was not my desire in life at all.  So  my only option was to find another way out of that depressingly backwards town and I did by enlisting in the Army.  I did study hard in school, but the best I could do was a C on graduation.  I wasn’t allowed to do sports because my witch of a mother thought the reason I wanted to stay after school was for drugs and debochery instead of track.  I was kicked out of band in my senior year for smoking cigarettes, yet the cheerleaders in my section who did more pot and booze than I ever thought of doing (and a couple were knocked up) were all allowed to graduate with band on their school record.

So you see Ms. Commi Pinko bitch — not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouths and some of us had no other options available to them to get out of the hell hole their parents raised them in.  Enlisting in the United States Army was the best experience of my life.  I learned more in three years about myself and life in general than any liberal pinko college would give me. 

And … don’t get me started on why the SGM is serving, after dropping out of college …
