Right As Rain

Right. This is the dumbest shit ever. If you, or any of yours, actually believes in their hearts that is this is the right thing to be doing...then I am sad for your souls. Being here has taught me one very important thing, and that is violence will drop when people are dead. Insurgents are people who do not want what America wants. Iran has every right to influence the type of government its neighbor has and America has no intention of bringing peace or ending the war. I watch people fight us with sticks. I watch children throw grenades like Nolan Ryan throws baseballs. I watch men die. I watch men kill. I watch men lie. I watch men cry. I watch walls crumble. I watch barriers be emplaced. I watch politicians debate. I watch the military create illusions. I watch people protest.
I won't see my nieces graduate high school. I won't see another holiday season. I won't see my mom turn 60. I won't see my friend return from his adventure. I won't see the national championship, world series, super bowl or the cup, twice. I won't see my nephew learn to speak. I won't see the news you see. I won't see the hope, the fear, the tears or the love. I won't see an end. Neither will the next guy who replaces me.
