I just signed my contract for the Navy April 29th of 2008. I leave September 12th 2008.
I don't love who runs my country, I don't love the ideals from the people of my country, I don't like the people who live in my country...
But my country is my country. I will defend her no matter what. For when my forefathers signed the declaration, and when they showed the courage to break off from tyranny, they enstilled in our country Honor, Courage and Commitment. Since those days we have flourished as a whole, and seen more in our few years than most countries see in their life.
America is home and hope to many, but not many realize the country they live in isn't the people who run it... it's the people who made it. I don't support George Bush, yes, he is my commander and chief and I will always listen to an order, but I will not allow a nowaday politician to destroy my country's history.
I fight for my country by joining. I will give my life, and I will give my spirit if it means that the people who take advantage of what they have can do so for just a little longer.
It's pride, and you should experience it. Sign up, because what other reason do you need? Sure, they pay well, they give you full medical and dental, they even put you through college...
But what greater right is their than the right to say "I served my country, I defended her against all enemies foreign and domestic. I love my country, and I shall stand by my country till death."
Good luck in your journey to greatness, and might I recommend Navy?
