Forgotten Heroes

"A war with no Heroes." Its was about becoming a unit through it we became friends. Its about those 4 year commitments and seeing it to the end. Its about facing your fears not just facing the enemy. To be strong in our colors wasn't just about vanity. Its about the memories we made and the laughs we all share. We never thought it was a game no ones going to die here. We were there for a reason we held our weapon with pride and the orders you question were made to keep us alive. It was never about, who's playing our current president. Why do they ignore us and think of only the government? Who sitting at home safe in their polished desks, do you really think they could last through one week of this? And those peace speaking liberals who greet us like the plague, pushing their poster in our faces like they wished we were dead. And the blood hungry media we're all used to your game, we say we're proud of this war and you just push us away. Your not looking for heroes but for something much better, like someone who fights wars to get his name in the paper. And to all those who think that no war is justified, what world do you live in? Your idiocy is homicide. The loss of 3,000 souls and the grief of their family. Should we not have fought back because you think wars are to messy? And wouldn't they try again with not consequences to fear. How long till it happens every couple of months to a year. What will the next target be and how many more must die. Who's spouse will be hostage who's children will be under fire. You say we were to aggressive? Wake up, life just not fair. They made the choice to mess with us, the outcome should have been clear. Someone in our history said, "Speak softly and carry a bit stick." And when they chose not to listen thats when you give it to them quick. Don't sugar coat it with apologizes let me tell you my 'friend' you try to recreate 9-11, and this will happen again.
