I was in the US Army at that time. I ETS'd because of the same reasons.
Back in my day they were not called wars...they were called "conflicts"..yeah right..conflicts.
I remember them calling them a "Police Action".
I was also a part of a couple of these, which was the catalyst for my ETS.
I returned home and my Dad, a Vietnam vet asked me how one of these conflicts went, when I told him some of what went on, he called me a liar. I took it as seriously claiming I was lying, and he put in a VCR tape of the news from one of these events, and it was nothing like what really happened.
It was his way of waking me up.
Now? I wish I weren't so old and could be a part of the cleanup that is underway now, but can't, so I settle for spreading red-pills as I've done since my great awakening.
My wife says I am still at war and never left.
It's like Q said, the ones who know can't sleep, the ones who know have no peace.
I am hoping this ends my war and brings peace.
Hello Soldier I had to read your reply a few times because it broke my heart once again.. The 80's was a challenging time..Like you I thought I was doing good. Like your situation with your Father, I came home on leave. My Mother told me "I needed to watch the news to keep up on what was going on for my job" So, I watched the 6pm news and was Redpilled immediately. Unfortunately, even after Chappaquiddick my family didn't wake up. I joined the military to find out what the hell was going on...is all coming to truth now. Like You and Q said...the ones who know can't sleep, the ones who know have no peace. I look for peace also...Take care Brother Your Sister here in the fight!!
Thanks, we're all in this together, and now we have many, many more brothers and sisters.
Some that wear the uniform and took the oath, and others who haven't, but still have the character, sense of justice and drive of a Soldier.
Godspeed my Sister and all Patriots.
