they stressed to us that it was called "the service" for a reason...

if this were a sigh, and it is, it would sound like this;

protest, it's our right as americans to do such things, but be respectful, please. People are dying. People in uniform are doing a job to protect others.

I was trained to kill. I took crap and punishment and vicious conditioning from Drill Sargents and sucked it up,

but a cabby giving me the finger while I was walking home in uniform actually made me feel pretty shitty.
