You know, Vince...I never realized you were actually IN the military...I just thought you were an avid supporter. All I have to say to that post is just..."wow...."
Vince, this is just amazing, all of it. Your recollections, the truth spilt all over the place and the link to the poem/spoken words. I don't think a lot of us who have never been in a war understand it. But from your eyes, I think we can come to understand a deeper part of it.
And any woman who walks away simply because you are truthful is an idiot.
Now I have to go see the film..my brother was in the Marines (or was it Navy? see how close we are) trained to be a Navy Seal and then suddenly up and moved to Tennessee and left it all.
My buddy who is a white water rafting Guide told me once, "Vince...it's great...It's almost as good as Combat."
I know that paradoxil statement holds much in it. Why would anything be refered to as, "As good as Combat."???
I think that for most people the white water rafting would be plenty as a near Death experience....but the mind plays tricks on you. It adjusts too quickly, sometimes. If you have the, "Just Right" orientation, you wind up walking away saying, Huh...this aint shit." If you are thrown into the crucible you might say, "Let me otta this shit."
I honestly believe that the reason I (and some others like me) are like this is because our orientation to it was smooth...and our Baptism of fire, perfect.
Thank you for your understanding, Princess...when you go see the movie...Go with a friend and be sure to Pee first......(^>)
This is powerful stuff, bro. I had no idea you'd been through so much. Respect!
You cant even say, "Hay Motherfucker...I'm gone get you for that", because you don't even know where he is or that he is reading a magazine while you are digging the graves of you fellows.
I totally agree with this. If you're going to kill a man, the least you can do is to do it from close enough to look him in the eyes...
Nothing brings this to mind so clearly as when you have a good relationship with a girl and then you wait for her to put her head on your shoulder and ask the question, "So....like, during the war....did you ...you know...ever Kill anyone?."
Any girl who can't handle the answer to a question like that, shouldn't be asking it. Maybe she should think a little harder before she chooses her dates, too.
And I wish for you, then, that you may find a girl who doesn't have a hangup about that! They are out there...
Thanks Rath. You know, sometimes its other things that bring the queastion...that is, in all fairness...mabie they dont like my taste in music....(^>)...and are just looking for an excuse, who knows. But on my end, its not just the finding of of the right person, but can that person play a mean Bass?..(^>)..I know of at least one who lives in the UK (*Winks*) but persons of great charicteur are few and far between.
I'm Fortunate enough to have you in my life Rath. Thanks for being there for me and for Yves too. We got to stick together. Otherwise, the dastardly of this world will win.
Im Getting a Big Muff for my Guitar!....Ever hear of it?
They make several models and Im trying to decide which one....I would like one that has a switch for use as a bass fuzz.
