A little background information on the follow post. Rick Roberts received this in his KFMB AM e-mail and thought it says it all. Rick wanted to share it with all of you. So, I obliged him and have cross-posting it here for more exposure.A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE
Your alarm goes off; you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes.
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 make sure you’re cell phone is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
– –
You talk trash on 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 walks 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 does not get to eat today.
– –
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for months, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
– –
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn’t have time to brush his teeth today.
– –
You are angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He is told he will be held an extra 2 months.
—-
You call your girlfriend and set a date for that night.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
——
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love’s perfume.
– –
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.
– –
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own government and remembers why he is fighting.
– –
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of the men like him.
He hears the gun fire and bombs.
– –
You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the bodies lying around him.
– –
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don’t.
He does what he is told.
– –
You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call and write home, sleep, and eat.
– –
You crawl into your bed, with down pillows, and try to get comfortable.
He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gun fire.
– –
You sit there and judge him, saying the world is a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him
