I hadn't heard about this.

quote:

“I’ve always considered myself a warrior, somebody who would fight for what he believed in,” he said. “It hit me like, ‘What do you think the military does and what do you think the military is full of? Warriors. All of a sudden, I had this respect for the military and I just realized that there is no America without the men and women who serve this country.

Coffee graduates today from Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia. His next move is on to Fort Bragg, where he hopes to become a Green Beret.


siap.

it's cool for a little while but it takes a special type of person to want to live that lifestyle for their whole career.

He was how old before he realized the military is full of warriors and that without them there is no America?

I'm all for people joining the service, but...
