Subj: greetings everyone,
I have thought
greatly this past week (as i am sure that almost all you
have).......and i started to wonder about my life, that (say for instance)
if i
did commit to going into the ROTC for nursing, i most
undoubtedly would
be sent overseas within the next
three years (for this war will not end
quickly i
fear and logically expect, for like in
fighting a faceless enemy, i.e.
children in training for the Taliban or Jyhad
warriors) anyways, i still hold close to why i started leaning ( more like rushing to medicine and
international studies for the best few years.......but i
also realize something else, and two things bring this issue up for me.
1.) many have confessed the
worry of "the draft" possibly being used in this
(unholy) war....
2.) a few of my closest friends have thought about serving in the armed forces, for various reasons........
SO, i am in an internal struggle, for i
know that what i am about to say may
hurt, disappoint, sadden, or bewilder
some of you...........if any of my
closest friends or family decide
or get drafted into the armed forces, i
will do anything i can to be with them, in their same unit,... to be with
them...., to
eat/sleep/work/sweat/and bleed with them, to form even a
greater bond than we have
previously had done before, to make sure to the
friends and families back home
that we come back alive and well and most
importantly...TOGETHER!!.......................for
these are morals (I believe) that we must show not just
i tear up a bit writing this
email, because of so many mixed emotions, not the fear from what this enemy has
done or can do again, but the fear of saddening you with this, or even
disappointing you,....that i am scared, enraged,
confused, regretting my former decisions, etc....BUT this is something that i believe i will have to
do.....please forgive me!
And no matter if i didn't enter the armed forces, i
would enter the RED Cross or another similar agency to go over if/when i get a medical degree, i always
had a feeling this is the type of traveling i would
end up doing anyways........and now i wonder
"what if" i had entered the ROTC......
Now, i am not saying this to be a hero, trust me, i wish it wouldn't come to that, i
wish that know of my loved ones will go in, and fight/live this unholy war as
it unfolds (AND THAT'S IF/WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN).......i
to be back to the point in my life where i was more
concerned about the disturbed/troubled youth
in our nation, to being a mentor and public speaker/advocate where i suppose my strengths/passions ran deep, to where i could worry about my frivolous creative projects, and
worrying about family/friends when they're sick or about to make a
scholastic/career move in their life, or make congratulations on my nephew's
and nieces' first steps into becoming an adult.........but let's face it, it
may take longer than expected perhaps...to get to that sweet tasting point of
life
again......
i love you all, and i ask that you be prepared, YES, go on with your lives, BUT
also be careful, be smart, and stick with your family and friends, miraculous
things can happen when you do so, and many emails have taught me that.
i do this in my faith in god (many
of you know my...i guess somewhat obscure
or sketchy view of god and
faith)....but my faith is what has saved me many
times in this life, and i don't expect anyone to follow this belief, i do what it tells me ( or at least i
try........)
love always...friend, brother,
cousin, nephew, son,
justin
