And I Loathe It When...

People condescend the soldiers in the Navy. I've never believed anyone who's told me that the Navy is less dangerous than the Marines or the Army. Nor is it any less terrifying. You are at the ******* mercy of the ship, not your own wits. If the ship went down so did you. If you went overboard don't count on any one of the convoys to stop and rescue you. Too much at risk to do so. In addition Can you run? Can you hide? Do you have any control at all? No to all of those and all of that gets to you and sticks with you. Shots ricocheting all over the place, bombs and smoke everywhere, fires on deck, guns booming,thunder times 10, noises like nothing you've ever heard... tell me is that any less terrifying?

I would just like to point out though I'm grateful and thankful to all the men and women fighting whether it's the Army, Navy, Marines, Airforce...etc
