I don't know if this is really worth discussing, but the OPTEMPO that began in 1990 is what really kicked it all off (there is a happy ending)

I was a bootfuck corpsman in 1990 and when Saddam did his thing to Kuwait in August of 1990, it seemed like the entire planet got tilted akimbo - shit has not stopped since then.
I deployed to Jubayl, SA with FH5 and was there thru all the SCUDs, the first Purple Heart awards, and all the bullshit that (then)seemed to be end-of-the-world stuff.
know what? dick heads at the front gate still forgot to clear their barrels dudes got shot
People making hooch with gatorade bottles/fruit/yeast (yes, it sucks dont do it)
dirt bags everywhere refusing to shower
fast foward a couple of years to somalia - skinnnies getting killed, this is around the time when America realized what exactly WE do, its not pretty but the job is a job and we do it.
i kicked out, the optempo was hard core.
In 2 weeks i will be taking up a job at the VA where i will be helping with mental counseling for YOU guys who have been in the suck.
Thanks for lettting me vent a little - my calling has always to give back to you fuckers who put your ass on the line
