I had the video in my email this morning (from a squaddie) and just turned off all emotion and clicked the download button.
I watched the video, listenened to the parts i couldnt bare to watch. and then finally saw the head propped on top of the body.
I was simply breathing heavily, and felt no emotions but rage, anger and hatred for those that have done this. I haven't spoken a word today since I've seen it. As soon as I collected myself to the point i could even move, I holstered my pistol and collected everything i could use as a target. Took 10x10 round magazines loaded, another two boxes of ammo and vented.
I've been in a bit of confusion (call it lack of conviction, maybe) lately about what I was going to do. I've planted the seeds for a good corporate aviation career flying bizjets, but seeing that video makes me want to walk down to the recruiter's office and say 'point me to a jet'.
2 more semesters and that Degree is done...this video isn't something i'll soon forget.
