Military Mind

Military Mind Military Mind Sexless uniformed surfaces not needing a life inside. Worthless devils fighting all the time and hurting all others against the flag or under orders or authorized this is the military mind just recently there was news a man held off his mind with love the conscientious objector was recognized. When eye was alive it was harder inside a man could have chosen the medical core or just died in the combat. The colors on those flimsy operating room suits were all wrong eye wore khaki may GOD please forgive me eye thought it was better to die than to live with my military mind. Nixon stopped the troops movements to the then Viet Nam. Nixon signed my discharge under the peace movement then. My foot was swollen from a drinking binge could have been gout my foot swollen up the doctor told me to toughen up when everyone else was at bayonet practice eye walked on the sidelines not worthy to fight just trying to get my foot to work to move my military mind. Since then as a civilian again eye have almost ruined that foot again its lame on one side. Now that eye older and lame became a fight would be welcome again to my military mind. God please give me your strength to then die. To lose a life taken is to gain it in Heaven eye object to my military mind.
