a fraternity for veterans?

[greeksrpansys]

ok so check this out, all you fuckers that go to college and think that you are all legacy's and all this bullshit, listen up, it dont fuckin matter what you think you are. your in college, you partied at home growing up, maybe got in a little bit of trouble or you were sheltered and never done anything wrong in your life and the hardest thing you have had to deal with was learning how to wipe your own ass. you cant tell anything to that soldier, and you know why???....because he joined up, he did something, something that you wont even get off your fatass from the computer to go get a soda you have to ask your little pledges. you are the reason america is failing, no one wants to do work, you think that everyone is gonna give you everything..try working for a living, all you rich peices of shit that have money, you have no idea what its like to make your way up from nothing. and if your thinking to yourself, who the hell is this asshole?,, my name is chuck, and yes i am a combat vet from the 173rd airborne, we lost 44 guys in afghanistan last year. someshit like that happens in a hgih school or college... everyone flips shit and wears ribbons like it means something, maybe if you actually did something like kick that asian fuckers ass who killed those nice kids in virgina, maybe it wouldnt have happened, but you go about your meaningless lives, trying to make sense of the world you live in, but trust me. you can make up as many phallacies about yourself as you want but the fact of the matter is, you havent done shit for your country and talking to that veteran about how he is trying to single himself out.. shit.. women do the same thing, black people do the same thing, etc. etc. so next time you think about talking to a veteran, especially a young man who knows what freedom is..speak with respect and dignity to him, because unless you have experienced the type firefights and loss of life, you have no right to disrespect him.

Last time I looked the reason we soldiers signed up to an all volunteer service was so we could SERVE our country and PROTECT the people who live in it. I was not aware that being a veteran gave anyone the right to lay general disrespect on everyone else. I was not aware that garbage mouth was the hallmark of one who had seen real action. I was not aware that getting shot at was the ONLY way one could serve his country. What exactly gives you the right to come off like a holier than thou bigot? Do you think you are the only soldier who has seen combat. Or, do you believe all soldiers always perform courageously and honorably and all civilians are wastes of skin? Just for the record, when I was earning my spurs the hard way a high percentage of the officers I served with when forward deployed were college educated Fraternity men.
When I got back and returned to law school I was surprised but very pleased to see how many of my fellow students were fraternity men and combat veterans. And, also just for the record, I paid my dues resulting in some letters you should recognize:
SS, BS'V' and OLC, PH, ACM'V' and OLC, ABN, plus all the other 'been there buttons' and REMF medals.
I am damned proud of my service in the regular army and I stay qualified in the USAR but I sure as hell don't believe in cheapening my service by using it as a bully pulpit.

Thank you but ...
OK, now I am embarrassed. I was sounding off about what I considered to be a way out of line rant. I really don't like to make a big deal out of something that I believe in very much. I like to tell people about my war stories but I feel funny about sounding like, well, you know...

Which is one of the reasons for your all-around awesomeness.
