You stay up for 16hrs. We stay up for days on end. You take a warm shower to wake up. We go for weeks without running water. You complain of a "HEADACHE" and call in sick. We get shot at, as others are hit and others are moving forward. You talk bout your buddies that are not with you. We know we may never see any of ours ever again. You complain about how hot it is. We wear our heavy gear, not daring to talk off our helmet to wipe our forehead. You get mad at the waiter for getting your order wrong. We don't get to eat today. You're mad that your class got held 5 mins. over. We're over an extra 2 months. You roll your eyes when your baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new baby and wonders if they'll ever meet.
If your supporting your troops your freedom comes with a price
