The Unfortunate Reality



Part 1: To the men

Think hard about this:
Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze & sleep for another 10 minutes.
-- He stays up for days on end.
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
-- He goes days or weeks without running water.
You complain of a "headache", & call in sick.
-- He gets shot at, as others are hit, & keeps moving forward.
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, & go meet up with your friends.
-- He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
-- He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
-- He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
You don't feel like helping out your dad today, so you don't.
-- He does what he is told.
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
-- He walks the streets, searching for insurgents & terrorists.
You complain about how hot it is.
-- He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
You go out to lunch, & complain cause the restaurant got your order wrong.
-- He does not get to eat today.
Your maid makes your bed & washes your clothes.
-- He wears the same things for months, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
You go to the mall & get your hair redone.
-- He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
You're angry cause your class ran 5 minutes over.
-- He is told he will be held an extra 2 months.
You call your girlfriend & set a date for that night.
-- He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
You hug & kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
-- He holds his letter close & smells his love's perfume.
You ditch class to go to a movie.
-- He goes where he is told.
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
-- He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, & wonders if they'll ever meet.
You criticize your government, & say that war never solves anything.
-- He sees the innocent tortured & killed by their own government & remembers why he is fighting.
You hear the jokes about the war, & make fun of the men like him.
-- He hears the gun fire & bombs.
You see only what the media wants you to see.
-- He sees the bodies of his friends lying around him.
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
-- He does what he is told.
You stay at home & watch tv.
-- He takes whatever time he is given to call & write home, sleep, & eat.
You crawl into your bed, with down pillows, & try to get comfortable.
-- He crawls under a tank for shade & a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gun fire.
You sit there & judge him, saying the world is a worse place cause of men like him.
-- If only there were more men like him

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
