I love being hungry so others can eat.
I love protecting the weak, because they cannot protect themselves.
I love not sleeping for days, so they can sleep soundly.
I love helping young mothers trying to tend to their children.
I love humanity and the good in people.
I love the fact that I suffer for those who cannot.
I love the fact that they shoot at me and not you.
I love that I am a United States Marine.
Semper Fidelis

Always faithful. You go where you are told to go involuntary and you kill who you are told to kill.
You are loving being a trained killer.
All the rest is designed to make you feel righteous, killer.
Really. And if was not for us you would not be in this country. Killing is not in the human spirit. Yes we are highly trained, highly motivated, but war is the last thing anyone in the service wants to do. We do it for you and others who are NOT willing to step forward.
I was trying to show the positive side of a horrible profession, but I respect and appreciate you comments.
You don't do anything for me at all. I just watch u being sent places to kill ppl and how you get used for your countries overseas balls-ups like Iran and Viet Nam. Blind faith.
I am not in USA and do not want to be.
Good.. Stay where you. You will never understand sacrifice for something greater. Your a coward and just like the sheep, pray that a wolf does not come get you. Keep your blind faith....
Typically stupid comment from a grunt.
