| i really think im ready to leave this fucking country
i was on patrol with my fireteam yesterday and out of no where the fucking street opens fire on us and this new guy (it was his first patrol) named steve takes a bullet right at the base of the neck and he goes down then an rpg explodes about ten feet behind our truck and i catch a shitload of shrapnel in my left arm and leg then our squad leader gets hit in the shoulder and goes down so by the time we take cover and then start to return fire the bastards are gone and weve got nothing to take our anger out on and thats prolly y im ranting on this stupid computer. counting the new guy, steve johnston, thats 6 killed so far this month, theres not much of "the originals" the original 32 is down to 4; pete, nic, dan and me ............ which one of us is next
i really dont wanna go home in a bag
i think i just really need to do something destructive, or go on a really dangerous mission maybe some spec. ops. stuff i got an offer to join Recon which would be really cool but it would mean that i would go to germany for training and then to afghanistan for a year or so ...... ive always wanted to be in Recon tho
*edit*
getting shrapnel pulled out of you without any painkillers isn't fun espescialy on the back of the arms ...... ouch |
