Not Funny but a great read HoooooRaaahhhhhhh!       It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take  the       time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about.                _________________________        You stay up for 16 hours.        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", and call in sick.        He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.       __________________________       You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and 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 walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.       He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and 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, and complain because the restaurant got your  order wrong.        He doesn't get to eat today.            __________________________     Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.     He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.           __________________________     You go to the mall and get your hair redone.     He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.!        ____ ______________________        You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.        He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.             __________________________       You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.       He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.           __________________________        You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.        He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.          __________________________      You roll your eyes as a baby cries.      He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet            __________________________      You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.      He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.            __________________________     You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.     He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.             __________________________    You see only what the media wants you to see.    He sees the broken bodies lying around him.           __________________________    You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.    He does exactly what he is told.          __________________________       You stay at home and watch TV.     He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.           __________________________     You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.     He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.           ____________________________    You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a  worse place because of men like him.    If only there were more men like him           ___________________________    If you support your troops, resend this with a "HooooooRaahhh!"        If you don't support your troops well, then don't resend, it's  not        like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your right.
