Man it has been a while since I did one of these. Almost two weeks. Sheesh. Life has been exceptionally hectic. School, work, fraternal business, PERSONAL business, & everything else in between has just swamped my life that I couldn't even log in to write about all of it! It makes me think, though. We have all of those people at war today whose lives all just stop to do something for our country. Most of the men out there had girlfriends, wives, kids, jobs. Whatever. They all had something to do & it all got scooped away when they recruited.
Only reason this comes to mind now is because one of my close friends, almost like a little brother to me, Marty, is recruiting himself & is getting sent off around November 21st. He sees this as a once in a lifetime experience to go around & do amazing things, yet most of us are thinking, "Buddy, there are a hell of a lot of amazing things you can experience here without the possibility of a fatality."
Just makes me think of the prior stories we've read & how everything falls into play for a reason. Maybe great things will come to him. Maybe they wont. It's just very unnerving to see a close friend go at something as permanent as joining the army...
