I am a Military Brat.
That basically means that one of my parents is in the
Military,
In this case, my Mom is in the Air Force.
I will be joining the Air Force soon.
We live in England because my Mom was needed at a military base
here.
I like it, but it gets hard.
Like all the sacrifices my family and I, especially my mom, make
are for nothing.
People in America are always complaining about the military
" It's a waste of money!!"
"Military members want nothing more than to kill innocent
people in Afghanistan!! Murderers!!"
" Why don't they all just shut up about getting deployed
and kill themselfs already. Get a real job."
" I Contine to tell the world exactly how dumb U.S. soldiers
are. That's right. Dumb. Brain dead. Morons. Dopes."
" They deserve to die."
I try to ignore it.
But it's around me here too.
Last week i went bike riding in a public path with my little
brother. He fell, and was blocking the path, laying on the ground
crying.
A British women stepped over him saying ; " Stupid
Americans. Why are they even here? We dont need them. All they do
is get in the way. They need to go cause trouble somewhere
else."
I could have punched her.
It's times like this when feel like it's all for
nothing.
If my Mother isn't even supported by her own country, or
it's allies,
then why does she work from 6 am - 10 pm saving it?
Sorry. Needed to rant.
