they are very affraid of us...there are rumors floating around that soldiers are having to sign waivers that they will fire on american citizens if ordered to in order to re-inlist!!!

That is exactly what it is just rumors. No one has been asked this. The only thing that could possibly come close, would be a twisted stretch of an interpretation of our Oath of Enlistment...

I, (​

NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

I couldn't even imagine. Being a nurse working with pre-mature babies, when I loose a baby during my shift, whether its my patient or not, it screws you up both physically and mentally for some time.

These guys see people killed and know there is a good chance, there next. How do you keep moving forward knowing your time can be over any second now.. with zero warning.

God bless all the vets, active service, and all!

This is how I equate it...

Several years ago I stopped by a buddies house 'cause we were going to go out drinking. He was working on his masters at the time and was balls deep in his thesis. I asked if he was ready to go and his reply was "yeah, just let me knock out a few pages really quick." He was like 40 pages in. That blew my mind. It sparked a discussion between us and he told me he was in awe how I had been to combat several times and all the stuff I had done. What I began to realize was that he had trained and prepared for years to be able to write a paper so long. I had not. What I had done was train in combat arms and medicine for years. Going to the field, shooting drills, shooting at targets that are silhouettes of humans, mass casualty drills, so on and so forth. I had prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally to perform the jobs at hand. Drop my buddy into that situation without my training and he would probably not fair well. In the opposite I can most assuredly tell you that even if that 50 pg paper was all that stood between me and my degree, I would walk the fukc away. I can't do it. School is where my anxiety sky rockets, and I mean in a seriously bad way. I'm not prepared for it. I am doing school, very slowly, playing a lot of catch up.

I cannot stress enough the importance in proper training/preparation for the job/mission/goal that one wishes to achieve.

"You do not rise to the occasion in combat, you sink to the level of your training. Do not expect the combat fairy to come bonk you with the combat wand and suddenly make you capable of doing things that you never rehearsed before. It will not happen." ~ Lt. Col. Dave Grossman​

That sucks,one time when I was home on leave between basic and ait,I went to burger king and this old couple came up to me and said,how does it feel to kill innocent people and kids over there for a living?i have to admit,I just looked at them and smiled and said,I don't know,I haven't had my turn at it yet

I'd have told them that the suppressor makes the recoil of the 300 winchester round feel like a Red Rider BB gun.

actually that is pretty specific in legal terms, you wouldn't have to twist it very much to see where a legal direct order could be given under that oath....the rumor i was talking about was a signed waiver to confirm that they actually agreed to do just that if ordered to...
