Obituary
chanced upon this on facebook.
To those of you who read about the recent death of a young officer and wish to know a little more about him, visit:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=20
----------------------------------------
Maybe its because he was the only child and had been through OCS, I could somehow empathize with his friend's description of the last few months of his life. The pain of waking up every single morning asking yourself, 'what am i doing here'. The exhilaration of tossing the cap which reveals an uneven tan on the face. The nights staring at the ceiling missing loved ones.
Sad to say, the fact that people are dying because of stupid reasons irks me.
No doubt the system has produced numerous talents and success stories, provided jobs and careers.
But everytime another obituary of a young man appears on the papers, who doesn't feel an ache?
Who's going to give the deceased a job and a career, a family and a success story?
