The Marine stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

It's the Soldier, not the reporter
who has given us the freedom of the press.
It's the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech.
It's the Soldier, not the politicians
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

How do you think God will deal with the solders who raped and killed that 14 year old girl and her family? War is Hell, but this was rape and murder. I know it's a tuff place, my best friend just got back from 2 tours and the stories will give you nightmares. One minute you think you have a friend, the next thing you hear is he blew himself up and took out 30 innocent civilans and serviceman with him? So many atrocities happen that go unreported. No doubt war is Hell, but it's how you handle the situtation is how you will be judged. IMHO.

by who he is in his heart and his choices he made.being a solider does not mean a sentence to hell.but IMHO a rapist or murderer is different.

Too bad so many reporters and poets have forgotten how many have died for all the freedoms we get to enjoy...

hahahaha, you just can't accept the truth.
no its sad that you feel that way and take the time to read/post it, I keep hoping for you to either let it go or ignore it since you have proven you can be a alright guy when you want to.

Should I dig up your post on the Officer thread where you pwned yourself, Sarjism?
Drag your pathetic ass back to the V Board. You're outgunned here, meat gazer.

Really? What "superiors"? Can you name a single one?
Do you really want to go through another embarassing round for yourself with me where you prove to us all that you're just a scared witless little boi?
This is your shot to shut me up once and for all, Sarjism. Prove to me that I'm just a wee little asian. Prove to me that you are so much better than I am and that you're the mighty monster that you claim to be. You do that and I concede. Until you can do that you're just another bitter and angry kid that's pissed about the crappy genetics he inherited. So bitter that you spend all your time here on an Internet forum ragging on others in order to somehow compensate for your shortcomings.
So post your pics, back up all your big talk, or just fade away back to the V Board with another lame homosexual reference or another "meltdown" reply. All it does is confirm to everyone all that I own you. 8)

He thinks it gets to me when the fact of the matter is I really could care less about his opinion. In the end it just showcases his ignorance and insecurities.
The best revenge is living well that that is one thing I certainly do. ;D
