Duty, Honor, County

This might be because the Army brainwashed me, but anyway. I've solidified my descision. I'm reenlisting and going in as a 19K. M1 tank crewman. It's a combat MOS. Odds are I'd go to Iraq. I'd see combat. I'd most likely be on foot if and when it happened. It's hard to explain why I WANT to do this. It's a sense of duty and legacy combined. I've unearthed so many stories about my ancestors fighting for such nobile causes. Dieing for their beliefs. But what about me? What am I supposed to do? I'm tired of sitting out of the fight. Damnit it's my turn to get shot at. Killed if need be. Death's a part of life, and I've grown to accept that. I just want so badly to prove myself to, well, myself. Not only that, it's everyone around me. I want to stand out from the crowd. Show everyone what I really have to offer and work with. I don't know. I'm not rushing into this, though. Not again. I'm taking my time figuring this one out. Hopefully I can make up my mind soon?
