Patch
For the first time ever in my military career…
I decided to wear my combat patch today.
This is very significant for me.
Today when I woke up this morning… I was so angry. This is starting to become a common issue I’m having ever since Iraq. I wake up just mad at the world. Everything and everyone.
I want respect for what I did. I feel I’m entitled to it. I feel I’m entitled to a lot of things. Normally I don’t wear my combat patch, because I don’t like my current unit. Plus it’s a gay patch. But recently I feel I haven’t been treated the way I should be by these new-to-the-army privates. By anyone who hasn’t deployed.
I have a chip on my shoulder, I guess. So I’m going to start wearing my combat patch. I don’t think it can make my anger go away… but at least it might help me a little. And maybe I’ll get more respect from fucking pogies who think they’re shit when in reality they haven’t seen or done shit.
Now to go to work pissed off.

Dont be angry at the world! Here, *hug* =) Besides, I thought you didnt care about what people thought anyway. Im sure you feel proud of yourself for what you’ve done and gone through and other people are proud of you too.

Dude, how gay can a combat patch possibly be? Elton John could design a patch around a rainbow theme and it still would not be gay. I hope you do get that respect.

I have to say this because otherwise it will bother me forever. Sure I havent reached out to a bunch of people for a while. The people I were talking to only complicated my life so I did the right thing. However, I did reach out to you…and then you offend me. I feel like you’ve been making it really hard for me to become real friends with you. If I didnt message you Im not sure you would ever

message me. Maybe I have it wrong but I dont think you really care about talking to me or being my friend. I think its more like..sure its okay and maybe even fun sometimes when Im around but if I wasnt it wouldnt matter and you wouldnt notice. Its fine if thats how you feel but with the last couple of people I tried getting any closer to it was hard as well and I just dont think I should put out

so much effort if its for naught. By saying what you did (joke or not) it made me feel like its a bad thing that I want to spend time with and get to know you. As for flipping out so easily today…I guess I’ve just been really irritable without knowing it.
