Even when I'm tired as hell and discouraged. I get frustrated with lots of things, but I'm proud that I'm serving. And yes, I'd probably do it again. I’m serving, and I am proud.

I think that teachers, doctors, policemen, firemen, and EMTs are on par to serving in the military in terms of serving your country. I especially respect those who chose the military first, and then got out to become cops, firmen, teachers, etc. Anon — you make a good point about other ways to serve your country other than the military.

My dad was a soldier for 20 years in the Army and went to Iraq in Desert Storm. However, due to that, my mom passed away while my dad was in Iraq. Now my dad has gulf war syndrom and has had it ever since he got back. personally I would not be able to serve, since the Army treated my family like shit while my dad was in Iraq and my mom was dying in the hospital. My family gave its share of sacrifice, only to be treated like dirt. There are other ways that i can serve my country. I can get an education and become a teacher. Next month I will be graduating from Grad School and plan on becoming a teacher. I can also volunteer within my community. Somehow people forget that there are so many other ways to serve your country in a time of war. Personally I have all the respect for the soldiers currently serving.

This would have made me sick. But, in the end, people like Murtha and Peloisi, Kerry etc. end up hanging themselves. I would expect that Murtha will have a very hard time getting reelected after that diarrhea of the mouth and furthermore, that level-headed democrats (the few there are) will now desert him.
