Carlos and Burke , and other Heroes.

The you tube video preceding this post is of Carlos Hathcock, marine sniper extrordaniar. now you are saying why on christmas day, is this fool talkin about snipers? I was thinking about Heroes, our country,my kids, my grandkids. I am not celebrating the fact Carlos was good at killing,hell he was first one to tell ya he didn't like taking a life. He did it to save lives,the lives of friends and soldiers he didn't know. The real Badass Americans don't ask to be heroes, they see a job that needs done and like it or not they do it. They don't usually like being called heroes. Makes em uncomfortable. I dont know or care what you think of war, you can disrespect the people who start em But please dont disrespect the people who fight em. They are stuck in some nasty ass foreign country sweat their asses off eating crappy food sand in every orifice of their body, wondering if the 3 guys who are walking by are the enemy or friendlies,you know theres no guide book to show em. You think our people,dont want to be Home with Mom an Dad, with their Wives an girlfriends,with their babies an grandbabies ,unwrapping presents ,hittin the eggnog with a little juice in it. So RESPECT the people fighting, save the disrespect for those who are Starting! Merry Christmas to Carlos and Burke. Carlos and Burke are not here cause they were Heroes! And Merry Christmas to all you HEROES who are there now. BE SAFE!
