[QUOTE="Gear, post: 2974794, member: 60511"] Choices? I was out of the Marine Corps for 3 years, married with kids, walked into a prior Marine recruiter and said, I want to go to Iraq. Got an extension on my contract, attached to a deploying unit and was overseas 6 months later. There I enjoyed the sounds of AK-47s, RPKs, RPGs, and of course IEDs, which were everywhere and no where. Damn things would be in the middle of no where. My favorite sound was my M4, her name was Leah, keep me warm every night. Having been in a dangerous environment makes me have 0 sympathy for cops. There is no war zone here and they are not Marines or Soldiers. I do respect their position but will never cry blue tears. To me firemen/women are the ones willing to risk their lives. A fireman will run into a burning building because he/she thinks someone is inside. A cop will shoot a 12 old boy because he thought he had a gun. You posted your kids are LEOs. I wish you and your family the best. [/QUOTE]
