The funny thing is, I later saved one of those soldier's lives. We were doing a grenade training exercise, and this guy for some reason accidentally bounced his grenade off a tree branch on the range. The grande bounced back to within a dangerous distance of his position. He just stood there, and looked like a deer in the headlights. Thankfully, I was there and I tackled him to the ground behind a rock, saving both our lives.
Guess how this inbred hick thanked me? He fuckign PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE. He called me a "fucking communist" and told me "I wish that that grenade killed you." The drill sergeant just looked idly on as he harassed and insulted me for my political and religious beliefs, and didn't even comment on how I fuckign saved this soldier's life.
Fuck the right wing. They have no sense of gratitude, only hate and vitriol for those they consider "inferior." Ungrateful fucking bastards.
