You want answers? – A Paraphrase 
You want answers?
The Lanced Red Dinky P_P: I think I'm entitled to them.
You want answers?!
The Lanced Red Dinky P_P: I want the truth.
You can't handle the truth!
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, The Lanced Red Dinky P_P? The US has a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the Iraqi Regime and you curse the US Troops. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what the US knows: That the Iraqi’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And our existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about it on Lit, you want me on that wall. You need us there
We use words like honor, freedom, liberation, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use ‘em as a punch line.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom we provide, then questions the manner in which we provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.
