Hecho Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 “I’m experienced now, I’m a professional. Jaws been broke, been lost, been knocked down a couple times. I’m BAD. I’ve been chopping trees, I’ve done something new for this fight! I done wrestled with an alligator. That’s right! I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuff lightning and thrown thunder in jail. That’s bad! Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean I make medicine sick. Bad. Fast, fast, fast! Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, and was in bed before the room was dark. Fast!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..romero.. Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 General David Petraeus' remarks-- Thanks to my fellow veterans: I remember the day I found out I got into West Point. My mom actually showed up in the hallway of my high school and waited for me to get out of class. She was bawling her eyes out and apologizing that she had opened up my admission letter. She wasn't cr ying because it had been her dream for me to g...o there. She was crying because she knew how hard I'd worked to get in, how much I wanted to attend, and how much I wanted to be an infantry officer. I was going to get that opportunity. That same day two of my teachers took me aside and essentially told me The following: “David, you're a smart guy. You don't have to join the military. You should go to college, instead.” I could easily write a theme defending WestPoint and the military as I did that day, explaining that USMA is an elite institution, that separate from that it is actually statistically much harder to enlist in the military than it is to get admitted to college, that serving the nation is a challenge that all able-bodied men should at least consider for a host of reasons, but I won't. What I will say is that when a 16 year-old kid is being told that attending West Point is going to be bad for his future then there is a dangerous disconnect in America, and entirely too many Americans have no idea what kind of burdens our military is bearing. In World War II, 11.2% of the nation served in four (4) years. During the Vietnam era, 4.3% served in twelve (12) years. Since 2001, only 0.45% of our population has served in the Global War on Terror. These are unbelievable statistics. Overtime, fewer and fewer people have shouldered more and more of the burden and it is only getting worse. Our troops were sent to war in Iraq by a Congress consisting of 10% veterans with only one person having a child in the military. Taxes did not increase to pay for the war. War bonds were not sold. Gas was not regulated. In fact, the average citizen was asked to sacrifice nothing, and has sacrificed nothing unless they have chosen to out of the goodness of their hearts. The only people who have sacrificed are the veterans and their families. The volunteers. The people who swore an oath to defend this nation. You stand there, deployment after deployment and fight on. You've lost relationships, spent years of your lives in extreme conditions, years apart from kids you'll never get back, and beaten your body in a way that even professional athletes don't understand. Then you come home to a nation that doesn't understand. They don't understand suffering. They don't understand sacrifice. They don't understand why we fight for them. They don't understand that bad people exist. They look at you like you're a machine - like something is wrong with you. You are the misguided one - not them. When you get out, you sit in the college classrooms with political science teachers that discount your opinions on Iraq and Afghanistan because YOU WERE THERE and can't understand the macro issues they gathered from books, because of your bias. You watch TV shows where every vet has PTSD and the violent strain at that. Your Congress is debating your benefits, your retirement, and your pay, while they ask you to do more. But the amazing thing about you is that you all know this. You know your country will never pay back what you've given up. You know that the populace at large will never truly understand or appreciate what you have done for them. Hell, you know that in some circles, you will be thought as less than normal for having worn the uniform. Just that decision alone makes you part of an elite group. “Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.” -Winston Churchill- Thank you to the 11.2% and 4.3% who have served and thanks to the 0.45% who continue to serve our Nation. General David Petraeus West Point Class 1974 not to discount this quote (which is a good one) but every person i know who has personally met petraeus has said he is a huge douche who spent most of his time kissing up to iraqi officials than actually caring about his wounded vets. how he wouldn't even visit them when he came to the hospital wards etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltrailer77 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I know this is off subject, but... When Petraeus came out to the carrier, he was cool as fuck. When high profile visitors come out it's usually a giant pain in the ass that makes our day a giant hassle. He went out of his way to shake the hand every persons he could, telling them how thankful the guys on the ground were for Navy ordinance on time and on target. He even made a point of going in to the scullery down on the mess decks, were the lowliest fresh out of boot camp E-1s are washing 5000 other motherfuckers dirty dishes to tell them "It may not seem like it but, without you men are in here doing this dirty thankless work none of "this" happens, I'm proud of you all and I am thankful for your service" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nappydugout Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, I've been knocked down, blown up, lied to, shit on, and shot at, so nothing surprises me much anymore except the things people do to each other. I'm not a virgin except in my heart. I'm a licensed pilot, everything from Jennies through jets. I've taught karate in Tokyo and lectured on economics at Wharton. I can memorize the front page of The New York Times in five minutes and repeat it back to you in five weeks. I can follow anyone anywhere from in front or behind. I can go forty-eight hours without sleep or a drop in efficiency. I can bench-press four hundred and fifty pounds ten times without a break and was national Golden Gloves champion three years in a row. I speak four languages fluently and can wrestle with a menu in five more. Don't interrupt me, I wasn't done, there's more! I lie a lot.
