Mark Wahlberg

It's a terrible topic.

I was...

I'm a supporter of the armed forces and I think it's terrible that our government doesn't take better care of the vets that risk everything overseas so we don't have to.

They were doing a slideshow of men who had unfortunately lost the struggle with their own demons.

I had to look away for a second because this one guy that appeared on the screen looked too young and happy to have gone to this dark of a place.

He was mixed race from what I could tell.

Athletic looking and had a big dimpled smile on his face.

When I looked away, I'm suddenly staring at the same kid outside my window.

Same smile, same build, same uniform.

One difference.

Across his forehead was the word failure.

I instantly knew it was skinny.

He wasn't trying to imitate this kid.

He was insulting him.

And he finally struck a nerve.

I said...

gosh the character the character we talked about this being getting like fired up about stolen valor is awesome that is kind of funny I can take anything dead kids or whatever but stolen valor is one thing I draw the line at skinny you talk about the twopes and all bets are off you talk about our brothers and sisters that have defended this country and I'm going to freaking kick your ass

as the gun comes up like lee greenwood's playing and i won't forget

I had seen him imitate so many other people and try so many other tricks, but this was the one that finally, but this was the one that finally broke me.

I was ending this creature.
