Gho the Girl I might not bear the same wounds, dear brother but the light within you is not so different from the light that resides in me. I'm sorry that what you've been through has seperated you so. It is not the inner flame that makes me different. The desire to serve, to protect.... love enough to bleed, this dwells in all virtuous hearts. No, it is the blood on the hands and cadence of grinding boots that makes a Soldier unlike others. It is not just the will to kill, the desire to shed blood for a cause that defines us. No, it is those who will never return, who knew they would fall but not in vain. It is not the seed that is planted, it is the soil it grows in.
The Spark is not dissimilar, but some of us are changed creatures, and we all change in different ways. The Soldier cannot be an individual. In many ways, I would wish more dissimilarity b'twixt myself and others, but some common bonds shall always remain. Every Soldier must be every other Soldier's sibling. It matters not which side one fights on, where or why one became what they are... Men and Women are born, Soldiers are Made.
Truth be told, I would rather have isolation than know others may have to sacrifice their identity. I like my world filled with beauty and variety. And just because something is not as I am, does not mean that thing is wrong or lesser. No, many lights shine just as, if not more, brightly than my own, if only in a different hue. I would have it no other way.

I understand your position, and respect not only your words, but your service in all of its forms. Thank you.
I could never be a Soldier, however. I am not fit for taking orders; my mouth has always been too quick, my mind too unwilling to bend, and my heart burns too fiercely. Having said this, I will be among the first to fulfill my duty as stated in the documents that founded our nation and throw off the chains of a tyrannical government should it become necessary and right.
I like to believe that there is a revolutionary candle deep within me, waiting to be lit. Should my blood be needed to feed the tree of liberty, so be it. I would have it no other way.
Not only Soldiers fight for freedom. Others fight for it in different ways. As you said, just because it is different does not make it greater or lesser.
And still the translation from the language of the heart to the language of men is never completely accurate. Forgive me if it seems as though I ramble- it is certainly not deliberate.

Fiddlers Green Quote: I just feel generally unwanted lately. neutral Maybe I should take a longer break from the internet. Okay, how does this post work? Who posted it? Seriously, how do I anon post? It was me. So you're the second person to say you didn't see me. That's amusing. I wonder why.
crying Probably the reason why I've been ignored lately, noone could see me.. (no clue how or why it happened)
