I pride myself on keeping up-to-date on current events and global news. How is it that I've missed the numerous soldiers who have given their lives in the past months? It seems as though the news is kinda over it. Unless it's a local station that has lost a local guy, no station gives a damn.
As much as I don't support the war, even more than that, I fully support our troops. They do something I'd never have the guts, strength, or discipline in the face of extreme duress to face.
I guess the moral of this story is that it's not over yet and we shouldn't forget them. As a future OT who wants desperately work with veterans dealing with TBI and/or PTSD, I'm embarrassed and saddened by the country's lack of respect and care.
So, strange though it is, here's one for M...who has promised to return home safely. No matter what.. Because, let's be honest...for all the shit he's put me through, ranting I've done about it, and all the anger and sadness I've felt towards him, he'll always be my Impossible Jerk and I'll always care for him.
