What is the difference between an army man and a civilian? Personally, I feel every man and woman of any country should be part of defense and army of their country. The civilian knows how to what? And the army man knows how to when?

Dealing with dirt , blood and tears DOES elevate them. They see a side of life which you fail to even acknowledge exists. In the end my dear, its power that enables you to protect and run, not just sweet talk. UNIFORM defines the look of the nation, Medals show the variety of risks taken and the man in it is someone we should all be proud of.

Lets face reality - power comes out from the barrel of a gun. The most democratic country in the world - the one we all follow as the role model, proves that everyday in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Be real.
