(A vulgar word may slip here or there but its ment as a descriptive use in reguards to my military career. please forgive me if you find it offensive or i break a rule. I am new here.)

I am currently engaged to a beautiful young lady named Marylou. I met her at the zboard and we quickly fell in love. I love her with a passion none shall ever know. A love that is beyond any description. In my eyes, she is the pinicle of Gods creative ability. In my opinion, one day God decided to see what was the absolutly most beautiful thing he could possible create and it still be viewed by mortal eyes, that creation is the woman I have given my heart too.

I was raised in a military family. My dad was air force and boy was he as military as they come. He was born and raised for the military. He peed napalm and pooed constantino wire (razor wire). My dad has always been my hero. I always looked up to him. He was always so strong and firm and a pillar of security. I could always look to him and feel safe. I always knew that when i was around my dad, i had nothing to fear. I can remember being a little boy and my dad would come home from work in that uniform and thats just how it was. I thought everyones dad was a soldier. If someones dad wasnt a soldier, i said they where wierd. lol. People would ask me what my dad did for a living and i would say "My daddy is a soldier. He kills people. He goes to work every day. Kills people all day long. Then he comes home at night." lol. Thats how i understood soldiers based on the movies i watched at that time. (john wayne and all).

I dont know if he knows it, but i have always admired him and hoped he was proud of me. Maybe some day ill be able to tell him the way i would like too. I love my dad so very much. I hope he knows it.

My dad taught me what it means to be a man. It means honor. It means loyalty. It means dignity. It means valor.

He told me about my grandparents and how they faught in WWII and how my great grandparents and so on.

I was raised in a very patriotic family as well for very obvious reasons. My dad has always loved and believed in America as well as its military. As far as he is concerned, its military can do no wronge and in many ways, im the same.

I decided one day in my life that i was a soldier. I felt a calling inside of me. A very deep strong calling. It was as if God was saying "Your a soldier Alex. Thats what i made you to do." I felt it in my heart and even in my stomach. Its well beyond description.

I always wanted to be a good man. If i could be half the man and father my dad is, then i would be truly blessed.

I once heard a few sayings that really stuck with me and fully cemented my desire to be a soldier.


"It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

This is so very true. Its IS the soldier who does all of these things. It is the soldier who lays their life down on the line and says NO to those who would threaten his nation, its people, and its way of life. I am that soldier. I will fight for people who will never know me and most likely curse my name for doing this work but none the less, i shall stand in their defense.


"The only time evil can triumph is when good men do nothing."

Too many people are willing to just sit by and try to talk things out. Evil cannot be bargined with. Evil cannot be pleaded with. Evil does not feel mercy or pitty or remourse. Evil will not stop until it has destroyed all in exsistence purely for the sake of death. The world looks at america and says "You are a war monger You wish to fight wars and conquere nations." Iraq still flys the iraqi flag. No nations is conquered. Not nation is occupied with the intention of being soverign United States territory. When good men do nothing. When good men stand by and allow bad things to happen unchecked. Well i wont just stand by. I wont just do nothing. I will stand against the darkness and i will scream into it "NO YOU MAY NOT!!!" and if that means dieing, then so be it. My life is but a small price to pay if it means that evil will not triumph. I love Marylou very dearly and i will most certainly love our children completely but i will be fighting just as much for them. If i must die, then it will be so Marylou and our children can live free of evil and tyrany. Freedom is the most costly thing in the world. Its paid for in human lives. Its paid for with the lives of sons. The lives of brothers. The lives of husbands. The lives of fathers. These men where no less in love with their families and no less affraid of death but courage is when you look at something and it scares you but you march forward anyways. If someone must do that. if someone must pick up a rifle and face such things and defend the ones i love then i would rather it be me than anyone else.




Well thats about it for me.

HOOAH!!

Welcome aboard! Even when using for a purpose..please watch the language on CAA. We have younger members and foul wording won't be tolerated. Our ol censor machine caught ya on the one word...please respect the other members and chose more family friendly words...anyway hope you enjoy your stay.

[VEGETA]

Well i wrote that military part a while ago and just decided to copy and paste it and i couldnt remember where the bad words where and i didnt wanna dig for them so i put the disclaimer. I dont plan to make a habit of it.

[Stephen]

Ok, glad to hear it...again welcome...not sure I agree with your stance against England though...

[VEGETA]

Oh well, we dont have to agree on everything.

(adds you to hate list...lol j/k)

[Stephen]

lol indeed we don't...just expect some flack for bashing England...our webmaster is English...plus...England has been our ally very close as of late...so don't be too hard on em

[VEGETA]

I dont hate England at all. Only ally worth anything as of late. The rest bailed like of bunch of airborne (thought without the honor).

However you cannot deny that England is the only remaining true empire (atleast to my knowledge). Even the soviet empire has fallen.

[Stephen]

I would not really call them an empire...any more then us here in the US of A I mean...they have left most there territorys go into the hands of the people...and heck we even have places that we control...small islands and all..I think people hold there past against them as much as people hold the pasts of many nations against them...Everyone pays for the sins of there fathers.

[VEGETA]

I can see what your saying and i acknowledge i had not considered that and therefore will mend my post.

[Stephen]

No need to mend your post...I was just discussing it with you...not telling you what to say. Heck we all can have our own opinions....anyway I am glad to see someone else from Texas....the owner will like that...(Ashley a fiesty little Texan) More southern power. lol

[VEGETA]

Nah i dont mind admitting when i was wronge. I had never really looked at it that way.

Yep. American by birth, Texan by grace of God.

HOOAH!!!


btw i edited out the vulgarity that i noticed.

[Stephen]

Thanks...seems were the only ones up this late..well you got an hour on me in Texas...I was born in ol Maryland..moved up here to the cold north when i was younger...snow stinks. I like your HOOAH!! sig....I myself have a slight variation on that...but I think it can be taken the same way.

BOOYAH! lol.

[VEGETA]

Hehehehe.
HOOAH is an army thing (not to be confused with HOORAH which is what the marines say)

Its basicly a positive motivator. Like if your asked anything and you wanna repsond with yes or in agreement or positive, you say HOOAH.

Hooah pretty much can mean anything depending on context.


HOOAH!!!

[Rashiir]

Wow. You seem like an intense fella! Welcome!

[Razgriz]

Welcome again! HOOAH!!! *salute*
