If anyone would like the actual MySpace bulletin with the music to repost, PM me, and I'll add you.. :wub I especially like the homecoming pictues at the end..


You stay up for 16 hours.
He stays up for days on end.

You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.

You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.

You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.

You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.

You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.

You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.

You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.
http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183528.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)




Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
http://media4.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183532.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)




You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183536.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)




You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.

http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183540.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)



You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.

http://media4.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183544.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)



You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183548.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)





You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.

http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183552.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)



You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183558.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)





You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.


http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183603.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)





You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.

http://media3.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183606.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)




You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.

http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/382145/20071206/183611.jpg (http://www.dropshots.com/)

If you support your troops, the click "reply to poster" copy all the codes, and repost the bulletin.

If you don't support your troops well, then don't re-post. You won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't have the worst day ever. You don't have to repost. It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights.

:( makes me cry too.
Its just one of those things thats really hard to not get sentimental about.
I hate those stupid protesters!
What I hate most is when my own family tells me i'm stupid for marrying into the military.
