The Soldier


This man has given everything he has has given so many years of his life for you. To protect you. And you have the nerve - the sheer audacity - to fight? Your petty argument (I don't care what it was about) is so disrespectful. This man stands watching as you beat each other to the ground in a cafeteria. You fight for your honor? He fights for your rights. For his country. For you. And you disrespect him.
