Recently, it has been brought to my attention that the people we call "heroes"
Are in fact, some of the lowliest people you will meet And it blows my mind that we look up to people For little to no reason without actually knowing them They fill a role and therefore we glorify them without reason. The people I am talking about are none other Than our own military The troops we revere and stand by so frequently Looking up to their "bravery" and everything else they tend to be embellished with And we fail to see that some troops are the most twisted people you would ever meet. Now I have a friend who's boyfriend is in the military And I can tell you from speaking to him that he's an honorable guy And honestly I'm happy that she's found someone stable who cares about her But the horror stories she hears from him about his unit Truly make me question the integrity and morals of soldiers in general. Now I know well that not all soldiers are like this And maybe there's a chance my friend's boyfriend is with a really bad unit But to me; the actions of the soldiers within his unit are representative of what most are probably like Let's get into what I'm talking about I'm talking about one hero cheating on his wife. Another hero cheating on his girlfriend. Another hero cheating on his girlfriend while simultaneously sleeping with a married woman with a child. That doesn't sound very heroic, now does it? But this is who we look to to defend our country Those so untrustworthy that they cannot hold their own relationships together But no They are brave They defend our country They have all the morals in the world ... Or do they. We need to stop glorifying people for their occupation choice And more for who they actually are Anyone can become a soldier if they put their mind to it But not everyone can be a good person when they think no one is watching. -- Maddie
