It May be Finally Time to Call it Quits
Being in the Army really changed the perspective of the world. I learned to love life and live it to its fullest potential. I remember all the sacrifices made by myself and friends, so that my children and wife would never have to go through - what I went through. “To Hell and Back” was our company motto. I came around to believe that was exactly what we were doing. Each time I killed a man I thought it well to ask for forgiveness from god. Until I saw my friends torn apart by shrapnel, I never once looked to god after that. It may be turning my back on my upbringings, but my upbringings turned their back on me when my friends were taken from me. I’ll never learn to forget and forgive. I will always remember the sacrifices. I will never forgive my commanding officers ignorance. I’ve settled down now though, and - it may be finally time to call it quits.
