You stay up for 16 hours

He stays up for days on end.

You take a warm shower to help you wake up.

He goes days or weeks without running water.

You complain of a 'headache', and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps
moving forward.

You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt,
and go meet up with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.

You make sure you're cell phone is
in your pocket.

He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next
to his dog tags.

You talk trash about your 'buddies' that aren't
with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies
again.

You walk down the beach, staring at all the
pretty girls.

He patrols the streets, searching for
insurgents and terrorists.

You complain about how hot it is.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off
his helmet to wipe his
brow.

You go out to lunch, and complain because the
restaurant got your order
wrong.

He doesn't get to eat today.

Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.

He wears the same things for weeks, but makes
sure his weapons are clean.

You go to the mall and get your hair redone.

He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.

He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.

You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.

He waits for the mail to see if there is a
letter from home.

You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.

You roll your eyes as a baby cries.

He gets a letter with pictures of his new child,
and wonders if they'll ever meet.

You criticize your government, and say that war
never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their
own people and remembers why he is fighting.

You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun
of men like him.

He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the
wounded.

You see only what the media wants you to see.

He sees the broken bodies lying around him.

You are asked to go to the store by your
parents. You don't.

He does exactly what he is told even if it puts
his life in danger.

You stay at home and watch TV.

He takes whatever time he is given to call,
write home, sleep, and eat.

You crawl into your soft bed, with down
pillows, and get comfortable.

He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and
helicopters all night long.

If you support your troops, send this to 7 people.

If you don't support your troops well, then don't
send this out. You won't die in 7 days, your love
life won't be affected, and you won't have the
worst day ever. You don't have to email this.
It's not like you know the men and women that
are dying to preserve your rights.
