You Need Me On That Wall!: Getting deployed again

Getting deployed again

It's on! Not going to give a lot of detail here, of course. But I think I'll use this blog to talk about deployment issues and how the training is going and, well, whatever else comes up.

For now I'll just say, we're going next year, probably to Afghanistan. That's not giving too much away.

Col. Jessep:

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
