Welcome to the Sift and thankyou for your comment.

“My father has been in the military for 28 years and is now stationed at the Pentagon. If you (Empire) honestly think soldiers are mindless killing machines then you are a person who says that out of ignorance. My father has been a great dad to me and my five siblings for my whole life, and he has been married to my mother for more than 20 years. I don't think I could have been more lucky to have a dad like him, and the fact that he is in the military makes me look up to him even more as I, of all people, know that he is a man with honor, dignity, respect, courage, and steadfastness. He taught me most of what I know, and what I know a lot of is hard work and respect for life and a love for family and others. All the many people besides him that I know of who are in the armed forces also are respectable, sincere, and human; not mindless brutes. I registered here just to let that be known. ”
