[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 877935, member: 9374"] I am not in the military, but I honestly wish I was/could be a lot of times. The honor and commitment that many of our servicemembers choose is heartening in a land/world of selfishness, cowardice, acquiescence and general sheepleness. I have often considered whether I would put my life on the line to save someone else either less fortunate, less aware, or less able than myself, and I think I would. If that decision cost me my life, my son and my wife would have to go on without me. My hope is that that decision to sacrifice myself so that another(s) might live would inspire others, and at least my son, to bravery and selflessness in his life. To live life not as a sheeple, but as a sheepdog... as Sun Tzu said, "Appear weak when you are strong." To me, living by example is the best way to spread your message, and if that means dying to save others, inspire others, and put even a tiny bit of fear into the hearts of future wrongdoers, that is worth it. I am not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is that my son may not understand the importance of honesty, integrity and the necessity of fighting evil in its every incarnation, regardless of the personal cost. Prayers today to the men and women at Ft. Hood, their loved ones and to all our uniformed servicemembers around the world. Keep fighting, you ARE appreciated. [/QUOTE]
