Army vet of 5 years. I was 2 years old when the towers fell. I was 18 years old and the Afghanistan war was 16 when I enlisted. I was 22 years old and Afghan was 20 years old when the last of 82nd left Kabul for good. Support your GWOT vets. I seen so many of my comrades be broken physically and mentally, all for a pointless forever war that only changed how many graves dot Afghanistan and Arlington National Cemetery.
This song is so moving to think lots of men have did what they did for us all for freedom. My friend is going out next week on tour again I hate it but he loves it. Our men all need to come home xx
Freedom Cadence by Bruce Springsteen Released : 2017 Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun Had a brother in Iraq, he didn’t come back I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree I say freedom is won through the blood of someone’s son Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun Daddy died in Vietnam, he was killed at Khe Sahn I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree I say freedom is won through the blood of someone’s son Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun Had a brother in Iraq, he didn’t come back I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die
Great film hard reality for alot of our brothers out there, as a ex infantry british vet. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 We fought hard in Afghanistan and Iraq lads no shame, unfortunately we don't pick our fights. Remember talk to someone men.
God bless & love these People who simply wish to stand guard for us & all who pray for the protection & love of our country & the hard won freedom we have been blessed to win & must defend always, every single day. Our ancestors fought this fight for us , & their sacrifices must never be forgotten! Blessings to all on Memorial Day, & always! We may not "know" you, but you all mean more than can be ever expressed!!!!
I was into all this shit as a kid but I never understood it until now I joined the Marines and I proudly wear this uniform and I have a few buddies that are suffering from PTSD and my father struggles with it aswell. It was time to pick up were the older generations left off I will happily take over for you, Semper Fi to my brothers and sisters across all branches of service.
Navy vet here that suffers from PTSD 😰 and this movie was absolutely hard for me to watch...cried more than once cause there's a part of me in each of those soldiers! #ICanRelate 🥺
I absolutely admire all you soldiers for doing this job and I can't even comprehend what it's like and I wouldn't last 5 mins but sir thank you So much for all you have done.
Those who say Freedom is dead havn't moved out of their parents basements, and have probably never taken a bus ride across half the country for $150, met strangers cause of bus delays, and make friendships with people who you'll never see again. Freedom is the ability to say goodbye, Or keep in contact with those people.
I wrote this for the tone: They say freedom is gone, No more place left to run. They say it’s a gentle rope, The one which hold and choke. Some say freedom is lost, Through the ash, and through the dust. Some say it’s a graveyard soul, The one which haunts and howl. You say freedom is far, Farther than a gleaming star You say freedom is a hope, A leader’s boosting quote. I see freedom as a choice, More than a whispered voice. I hail him as my friend, From now till the end.
My favorite version of this cadence will always be when I was in reception and Drill Sergeant Percy called this. You could tell he was reliving memories from when he was overseas as a 13F. It was so emotional and I will always remember that
I was a 13 Bravo, same place, same time, same patch as this movie. I COMPLETELY understand. It was very hard first time I watched this movie, and the second. 3rd time was easier.
