i am a marine.

inspired by my friend deltacowolf. read his stuff. you will enjoy it.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

ARRRR PEEEE GEEE!

 

This isn’t what it’s like

No battlefield or call of duty.

Its war.

Its potent.

Its dirty

Its taxing.

Its grit

Its strength

Its purpose

Its so much more

 

But most of all…

 

Its reality.

 

Don’t forget that

Or it will forget you.

It's flys and sand. Iraq was like this giant f*****g Sand burm with 80 gazzilion flys buzzing around it with us climbing up one side while Hajji ran off the other after he booby trapped it. Truth be told prior to my unit's first deployment we couldn't wait to get over there and start blowing s**t up but after a while the place wore you into the ground. Good Poem. Thanx

Powerful piece, but never, EVER call a Marine a 'soldier', not to his face at least! Grunt, leatherneck, jarhead...any of these will garner glorious trumpets of 'Ohh-Rah!', and 'Rodger That!' Even warrior...but not soldier. We leave that term for the U.S Army's boys in green, LOL!
Nice write though...

Wow, my dad was a marine, he was over there. And people just seem to think that War is like these games that all the teenage boys play. I've heard so many times, "Woah, cool!" or, "Imma do that someday," oh and my favorite, "I can't wait till I'm old enough to go over there and blow someone's head off!" They don't get it, and apparently, you do. Thank you!
Sorry for Rambling

i know right? its no where near an FPS. most of the people who want to go to war can't even hack paintball so how can they even think about the real thing? ah don't worry. it was nice to see someone who understood where i was coming from. thank you :)

[Annabelle Lee]

ABSOLUTELY! There needs to be more people like you to straighten the little b******s out :)

[nigrum homonculus]
