Question

Obviously you don't come saying ya sweet that was super fun and enjoyable. But did any of you comeback without absolutely hating what you did?

Answer 1

like what?? being deployed - i am sure some guys hate it some dont mind it  

Answer 2

I have never been in the military. But, my 2 sons are. They don't have any regrets for doing their duty. My youngest son was in Iraq USMC,  at the beginning of the conflict. He doesn't have a bitter attitude for what he did.

Answer 3

They were doing their Job and millions and millions of Americans are so proud of them. War is not pretty and they gave their all. There is no draft and many didnt want to be there Im sure . much less suffer the way they did , but they are all hero's to me .

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you're referring to.  Are you talking about being deployed...combat...what.  

During my military career there were things that I loved and things that I hated.  There were deployments that were fun and others that really sucked.  

Combat was never what you would call 'fun'.  It did have it's excitement but having people shoot at you isn't all that 'fun'.  We train for blood and guts because that what we do but I don't know a Marine in the world that would rather be in combat rather than holding their newborn daughter.  

I am proud to have served my country fighting for freedom.  I am proud of being a Marine.  I am proud that I had courage under fire and followed the orders of my Commander in Chief.  I would do it all over again, in an instant...War is never fun...but Freedom sure is.

"But did any of you comeback without absolutely hating what you did?"

Here's one, can YOU honestly say you've made a difference?

Was it tough, yes.  Was it nasty, yes.  Would I do it again, In a heart beat.
