What war is like

"You stay up for 16 hours. We stay up for days on end. You take a warm shower to help you wake up. We go weeks without running water. You complain of a 'headache' and call in sick. We get shot at, as others are hit, and we keep moving forward. You talk about buddies that arent with you. We know we may never see any of ours again. You complain about how hot it is. We wear our heavy gear, not daring to take off our helmet to wipe our forehead. You get mad at your waiter for getting your order wrong. We dont get to eat today. Your mad that your class got held 5 minutes over. We're told we will be held over an extra 2 months. You roll your eyes when your baby cries. He gets pictures of his baby, and wondering if they'll ever meet."

So dont b***h and moan about your life until youve experianced what they've gone through
