Something to get out

There are some people that I used to think of as family, and they are severely disappointing me right now. I have spent years with them and consider them my brothers, and as they prepare to go in harms way they are trying to break an oath they made. They swore to a creed and to live by certain values. I will be the first to admit that I am a hypocrite and did not live those values personally. I never broke them professionally, and I loathe and detest those that do. I entrusted you with my family and friends that I love like brothers, and would replace you in a minute to ensure their safety. I shed my blood, I was privileged to serve with true heroes and you pitiful, disgraceful fucks want to stay home and collect a paycheck and wear that same uniform. Remember these words and what you swore to do:

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team.

I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.
