Brave Soldiers

Brave Soldiers We all like soldiers, if not brutal enemy soldiers, only ours, they defend our country keep it safe even if they fight wars little to do with defends but more to do with securing oil fields and other minerals. Everyone in politics like soldiers even if they don´t know any since soldiers are usually from poor and deprived background. TV reporters too get misty eyed when talking about our incredible brave boys. Some soldiers behave badly, shooting wounded men, as in Fallujah, and peeing on corpses of people they have shot; and some leave the camp at night, go out and civilians, for the pleasure of it. On the whole soldiers are nice people who believe lies they are told by superiors. Problems start when soldiers are demobbed-finding a job, and missing the intense *****erotic camaraderie makes them dysfunctional in normal family settings. Divorce, and alcohol do the rest, end up sleeping under bridges. Yes, our soldiers are brave and a bit dense, can´t hack it in civilian life and some end up shooting themselves.
