Words of Wisdom for FCAlive

[Homerun04]

I beleive Col. Jessup had FCAlive in mind when he said the following:

Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have
to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You?
You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than
you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you
curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the
luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death,
while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while
grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
(beat)
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you
don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need
me there.
(boasting)
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words
as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You
use 'em as a punchline.
(beat)
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very
freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I
provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on
your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and
stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you
think you're entitled to.

....and I couldn't agree with him more......take a rifle and protect yourself FCAlive if you have such a problem with the way the US government has provided your freedom for you...!!
