The GI

The GI

Feeling
the butt end
of a rifle
is not pleasant

Seeing the pictures
of loved ones
in  a locket
around a
fallen enemy's
neck
is forever tormenting.

Justification
for the fight
will always
be a useless
controversary
between
world leaders
politicians
and those 
who 
did not
have to 
make the 
sacrifice 
nor
live with
the very
haunting
residue
that plagues
a soldier's mind............................

Hello Gregory...

Some Soldiers would say it's what they signed up for...

Some say their just doing the job they were called to do...

Not everyone wants war and I'm sure many would like the leaders to fight their own battles in which they create...

Take responsibility for their choices and actions...

Soldiers are in thoughts in prayers everyday...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Thank you for your service and sacrifice...

Salute!

Hugs...

I feel as if my days are in a process of summing up.
That I linger in oft moments reviewing the past...
