am i the only one that finds these “(insert word other than ‘fighting’ here) for freedom” posts a little disrespectful? you really aren’t doing jack shit besides drinking yourself into oblivion. not to say that’s not cool, but to me the juxtaposition with the actions of someone that felt passionate enough about this country and what it stands for to literally put his life on the line has never seemed appropriate to me. just my opinion.
I don’t believe that the people who post things like this TFM are really stating that they are helping to keep our country safe by drinking heavily, sleeping with slams, and hazing pledges. I think they are just acknowledging the fact that while most of us have brothers who are indeed in the military, for many of us that is not a career path we chose to follow. But the point is, you will not find a group more supportive of our soldiers than the guys on this website. A soldier could be from the lowest-tier fraternity we know (or worse, be a GDI), and still we would all buy them as many drinks as they wanted, and together kill whichever hippie liberals even look at them wrong in the bar. Although us civilian fratstars will never truly know what our military goes through force, we can still show our support by fratting hard and truly appreciating what they do for us each and every day.
“someone that felt passionate enough about this country and what it stands for to literally put his life on the line”
Is the primary motivation for most people to join the military really their “passion” for their country or is it instead that they need a job? Ask a soldier why they joined the military and is the first reason out of their mouth more often “I wanted to do my part for my country” or “I needed a job/money/a way to pay for college/get away from home/see the world”. Pat Tillman, among others, heroically falls into the former category, but I believe the majority of soldiers answers comes from the latter.
