“I don’t mind when people talk shit about the war, the military, whatever. Shit, if it wasn’t for our ass out here in the shit, they couldn’t say nothin’ about nothin. There ass would be in some shithole prison just for talkin’ shit. When they shoot their mouth off, it only means what were doin’ is right.” Corporal Wiley, 3/75th Rangers.
“People that talk shit, they don’t know shit… Half of them never been out of the country.”
Spc. Jeff Koscielny, RTO, 3rd Platoon, Bravo Patrol, Company “F”, 425 Infantry (RANGER/AIRBORNE), Long Range Surveillance Unit (LRSU), Michigan National Guard.
“Fuck. I’ve been in five wars. It’s always the same.” Jimmy Ray.
That was awesome. It amazing that one can go from laughter to tears to pride to laughter and back to tears in a matter of a few seconds, isn’t it?
I have so much respect for those guys.
