Why Marines Fight

[@Cwhiten11]

Kyle, I’m sorry you’ve been victim to those types of comments and people. We’re proud of you and who you are. Thank you for your tremendous sacrifice, brother.

[@jkirton1964]

I couldn't have said it better myself, Clay! Kyle, sir, may God continue to bless you! 🇺🇸 GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

[@Spacewand]

Some are proud but some are not. There is bad where is also good. How the fuck you think its a sacrifice? There is no Sacrifice and either no heroism in this work... and Its a bad work! Take it like it is. Also I don't mean that having gun for protection is bad. Just trying to tell some of you that its wrong to go as contractor neighborhood country and throw Justice Hammer with your Rifle and Bombs.

Man, I love listening to your outlook on things. I’ve never served in the army or anything like that, I’m a 20 year old, fresh out of college, jobless kid but man, idk what it is. Listening to you talk gives me hope that I can do things I’m too afraid to do, I’ve struggled a lot in life with doing new things and putting myself out there but you talking about looking at things with an outside perspective gives me hope. Thank you, you’re truly inspiring in more ways than you know. I know this post is a little off topic but I just wanted to let you know.

[@mikelearned1628]

Kyle, you and guys like you are my hero's. You are the guys I served when I was a peacetime admin Marine so that you could do the service you guys did. We all decided there was something we were willing to give our lives for when we put our signature on the line and took the oath; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, and National Guard. Some of us did not have to be put to the test and others did. No one outside the military can possibly understand our understanding of the internal commitment we understand we are making, or the commitment we lovingly make to each other unconditionally. No one who has not experienced combat can understand the experience of combat including myself. Those who criticize our armed forces personnel, our veterans, our combat veterans and have not even put their signature on the line speak in ignorance. The guys and gals I knew in my Marine Corps and the other services were 99.99999% honorable and the best and it was my honor to have known them. I have done my best to serve all veterans, especially those who served in combat in all conflicts, as an Rn and in other civilian capacities since leaving the Marine Corps some 40 plus years ago and I remain in your and other vets service as needed when needed to the best of my ability. With nothing but love and respect to you and all vets; Urah and Semper Fi.
