There’s a Tear in My Beer Since You Left Me My Dear

The title for this chapter is actually some lyrics from a Country Western song. Country Western songs always tell a story, and unfortunately one person dropping the other person like a rock, is an all too common story in the military.

One of the hardest things for a soldier to go through is receiving what they call a, “Dear John Letter.” This is a letter where their significant other is telling them they no longer love them and have moved on to someone else.

I certainly went through that while I was in Korea. I personally got a letter from a girl that I was very much in love with that said her parents felt I wasn’t good enough for her. So this was a double whammy. I lost my true love at the time, and I was told I wasn’t good enough.

This was devastating to me. I loved this girl so much I had the picture of her she sent me. I had a local painter paint an eight by ten size painting of her that I kept by my cot to look at every day. After I got the letter and stop having pity parties for myself, I put the picture in my trunk I kept at the foot of my cot. I put it in the bottom part so I wouldn’t be able to see it unless I tried to find it.

This “tragedy” led me to having some hard times with drinking. I thought that drinking would get my mind off of what was happening to me. The opposite happened. The more I drank the sadder I got. Drinking brought out my inner feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, failure, and rejection.

After a month or so of that, I turned to prayer, and God helped me get back on the right track. I bought a Bible, and read it every day. It was my connection to finding the courage to go on and be a productive person again.

I am sure some of you faced that while you have been in the military. There is not a way to get around the pain of facing it, but please realize that there is always someone who loves you very much no matter what happens on this not so friendly planet. God will be there for you. He will wipe away the tears, and give you comfort.

He did it for me, and I went on to getting married and having three wonderful children. I now also have seven grandchildren.

I look back on what I had to go through in Korea often. Believe it or not, I thank God for the storms I had to face while there. I was beaten up mentally several times, but I came out a much stronger person because of it.

During your time in the military, there may be times of disappointment and hurt. Much of that can be avoided if you turn all your worries and hurt over to God. Many times life is too much of a burden to carry. If you let God guide you through the trenches of life, you will be able to withstand all the garbage that seems to come up.

Think about This

Isn’t it interesting that you can’t have a positive life and a negative mind?

Military news…

Had to share this article stating that they will mandate virus shot for the Marine Corp. Could be a disaster for our Country.

Joe Biden made one giant change to the Marine Corps that could lose a war to China.

Joe Biden’s done everything in his power to weaken America. But now he’s attacking the armed forces. And Joe Biden made one giant change to the Marine Corps that could lose a war to China.

Joe Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandate reached the United States Marine Corps.

The Marine Administrative message posted on the Marine Corps website revealed that any Marine not fully vaccinated or receiving an approved religious or medical exemption by the November 28 deadline for active-duty marines will be booted from the Corps and could face a potential court marital.

“Marines refusing the COVID-19 vaccination, absent an approved administrative or medical exemption, religious accommodation, or pending appeal shall be processed for administrative separation [in accordance with] this MARADMIN and supporting references. General Court-Martial Convening Authorities (GCMCA) retain authority to take any additional adverse administrative or disciplinary action they deem appropriate,” the message read.

This new rule makes no exception for natural immunity and forces young and healthy soldiers – one of the least at-risk groups in America – to take a vaccine they may not need or want.

Biden’s intention to force every person in America to take the vaccine as a form of social control that has nothing to do with public health became clear, because as of October 20 the Marine Corps has not approved one single religious exemption to Biden’s military COVID vaccine mandate.

Joe Biden wants to force all active duty and reservist members of the Marine Corps to take the vaccine as a power flex to purge anyone that may not have voted for Joe Biden from the armed forces.

A rational policy would exempt those with natural immunity as multiple studies from multiple countries shows natural immunity is stronger than the vaccine.

Ok! I hear you. I will share another excerpt with you. Thank you for sharing.

Desperate People do Desperate Things

I saw some other frightening things happening in Seoul, South Korea.  

We had to drive very slowly through some of the tight streets, as you could see fathers and mothers holding their children ready to throw them in front of our trucks, to get compensation money from the military. Yes, they were sacrificing their children for money.  How could anyone even think of doing that?

They were desperate for food and clothing for the rest of their family. They had no means of income, and they had to find ways to survive.

We see similar types of things going on all over the world. There are people allowing their children to be bought a love slaves. Other people pay money to crooks so they can sneak them across borders to find jobs.

Isn’t this what we are fighting for? Aren’t we fighting for a freedom of choice?  Freedom for a life that is free of fear? Do we need to have people be so poor that they will let their children die, or be sold into slavery?

Of course not! We put on our uniforms to protect these kinds of people. We are doing what is right by defending them to the death.

We don’t have to toot our own horn because we are doing heroic things. We will receive our just rewards when the right time comes. God knows every move we make, and He sees how people in the military are seeking to protect, and help people have a better life. Never be ashamed of your service to your country. You have been chosen to represent your country in a way that shows courage and a kind of love that passes all understanding

I read an article that states that our current president is being used as a scapegoat. It says, he makes all the mistakes, and takes all the blame. No other democrats are at fault then. That was an opinion article, but I am not sure if that is not in place as we speak.
