FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Many soldiers enlist in the army and are rewarded in money and honor. But when you are stop loss you suddenly feel hurt and betrayed by your country. What once was a privileged is now a burden. You see stop loss is when you fulfill your time in war and the army needs more soldiers so they extend your time in the army. Soldiers feel trapped and miss their families dearly. So what do they do ? Either they fight or they flight.

When someone talks about the quote "Fight or Flight" it either means you'll stay and fight this battle or flight , you'll run from this battle. This "response" is an answer to stress believe it or not. When one is stressed you ask yourself fight or flight (Adrenaline). But in this case it means the complete opposite. What I'm asking here is not if you'll fight for your country because technically you already did. I feel any more then that is not fair. It's validating your contract and ones trust. It really makes people question the government and how sick and twisted their minds really are. There is a fine line between duty and favors. What a soldier dose is not a duty it's a favor. What I'm asking here is will you stand up for yourself and for your family and "flight". Many soldiers feel violated so they do what they have to do to get away from this. They run , they try to escape from the army to go home as they were once promised. Some decided to fight and stay with the army while all their friends go on home. You are left behind either to live or to die. So now were left with a question. Who is right in this argument and who is wrong. Are the soldiers right for staying and being loyal to their country and military commander. Or are the people who run to escape the burdens of war right?

Really there is no right and no wrong. Many might feel that the people who run are being arrogant . Some feel that the government is selfish and disloyal. Some feel that it's an obligation to serve. Some feel its an honor. Everybody has opinions and everyone does what they think is necessary. I believe that ,even though you put in their own two cents , that soldier couldn't care less and will do everything in his power to protect himself and his family.
