Soldier's return makes little brother jump out of seat | Militarykind

[@MaskHysteria]

Favorite part of this is the birthday party where he's putting together care packages instead of getting gifts. His heart is in the right place and he has a bright future.

[@adendarican640]

For a man or woman in the military, a care package is a great gift.

Over in Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield/Desert Storm, I received a “To any soldier” mail. Turns out it was the 1991 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. I was the most popular guy in the unit for a while

[@tree8821]

Well soldiers _are_ meant for war, and you know with war, comes deaths. And let’s say all the soldiers in army 1 survived WWIII. If they survived against the attack of army 2, then army 2’s soldiers would’ve died. So yeah

@Arfur FuxxakesAww you going to melt snowflake?

[@ukmedicfrcs]

@Arfur Fuxxakes Open a book once in awhile. You think the US is the only country who goes to war? You know how many are murdered in the middle east? How many innocent people are beheaded enslaved , raped and tortured everyday by their own country. Russia and China have a long history as well as the Romans. You whiners complain about the US until your pathetic country needs money or help. Then its " gimme gimme gimme". You know nothing about history and it shows.

I feel so bad for the people that have loved ones in the armed forces, bc I can't go a month without seeing my dad.. My dad is stationed somewhere, but I still get to see him because its not far from where we live. My dad means the world to me he's my hero, he's been there for me through the tough times and will always be. Thanks for severing my country soldiers ❤❤

[@colwilliamnoydb4134]

My oldest brother was a Lt in the Air Force. Got shot down in Vietnam with his RIO in their F-4 Phantom. I was just 8 years old at the time, but remember his smile, the way he talked, his walk, and the hug he gave me before he left. I have lived 48 years longer than he had a chance. He was a good brother, good man, good pilot. I still think of him and sometimes have dreams where he is there. My next older brother retired a Navy Cmdr. Pilot as well. We still drink to him, our Maj Gen father, on their birthdays. God help us all.

[@edwardkasiayadiuno9076]

Some countries don’t have this much respect for their soldiers,it’s cause the soldiers have been directly involved in politics,plundering the national purse for selfish and personal gains only. I’m so happy to see this video. It’s truly inspiring. Makes me smile deeply.

[@hagamapama]

Oue of the smartest things the Framers of the US Constitution did was defang the military in domestic matters. With that guarantee we can be a lot more comfortable around our armed forces and that pays dividends in terms of better support for the troops
