[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I have to say, when I was a young woman and deploying to Iraq, I was scared. When I tried to tell my family I was scared- looking for comfort- I was told, you knew what you signed up for. Okay, we all know what we signed up for in life. What is it about someone agreeing to serve that makes it impossible to be compassionate toward them? What the hell is wrong with you people? If you had a kid, and the kid got cancer and died, should I tell you that you understood the risks of parenting? No, I should give you my condolences like a normal human being. The reality is that anyone who says “you signed up for it” is saying they view you as unworthy of empathy, less than human, etc.[/quote] Thank you for your service, sincerely. I am sorry that your family was unable to empathize with your fear. [/quote]
