OT: Speechless

So last night my girlfriend, Bryce (her son - hes 7) and myself went out to dinner.We are sitting there talking and Bryce said he wanted to go in the Air-Force. I said why so you can fly planes. He said no, so I can fight for freedom. It took all I could do to hold back the tears. Even typing this im tearing up like a little girl. I love that little dude.

  • Awesome! There is hope for our country! My oldest son(10) has a basic understanding of what our country stands for. He wants to be a Marine!
  • Our troops thank him

    Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Gecko, you're a f***ing tool. I don't necessarily agree with every fight we pick in the middle east but that doesn't mean we won't need soldiers in the future to protect us. You have you're opinion but there are times you need to shut your damn mouth and just keep them to yourself. You really are a d-bag.

    gecko.. that was hugely inappropriate and insulting to the 5000 men and women
    who died in these fights.. and while I don't totally disagree with sentiment behind your remarks,
    I feel it was grossly out of line as the 5000 men and women who have given their lives did so in the belief
    that they we, are and have defended our nation.

    do not use this forum as a soapbox for your personal political beliefs or derail a members thread about
    a young boys honor.

    this was ridiculous and I apologize to the op for even responding like this within the thread

    edit for calling Gecko a name in response to his idiotic political opinion.

    It's the height of irony to hear someone describe people who "Can't think for themselves" by using a term taking straight from a talking points memo.

  • Gecko needs to take his ass back to the PM forum but unfortunately most of them don't like him either.
  • My pm box is an open door for anyone who wishes to discuss this topic further.

    Great thought. Kudos to Bryce for considering a calling involving sacrifice and service to others.

  • GECKO109 - As someone who works for the armed services I find your comments thoughtless and misguided. You disgust me.

    To everyone else - Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless America.

    I'm hoping god will bless the whole world and not just America, cause you know, that would be a little selfish.

  • ^^^^^^^^LOVE THOSE ^^^^^^^^^


    So I honestly have no clue what Geiko (whatever his name is) wrote about Bryce, nor at this point do I want to care. I will however say this.

    You ever open your mouth again in a degrading manner about Bryce, its not going to turn out good for you.
    A 7 year old kid who was just doing what 7 year old boys do. Dream! But thats not ok with you cause your a dumb SOB who think the world revolves around your idiotic way of thinking. Maybe if you had a soul, you might understand.

    ....ARIC--yes may God bless the entire world.
