duty is to fit. you know how that. was definitely a sense of shame and letting her down. that's the downside of taken in since i took her that's the downside of being the raised i was and having the conscience i had an. area in say fear just maybe it's the fear of making the wrong decision without that sort of structure to fall back on. you know i'd say it's difficult to know when. i'm not i don't know how to explain this
11:53 pm
these witch hunts that were going on in the military if a guy called you a dyke nothing was done to that person and there was no one you could say anything to and so that was it was very difficult particularly you know if you're doing better than the men. obviously an easy way to take a cheap shot at you is to question your sexual orientation or you know wear a sign that says i'm straight i'm not a homosexual i'm i was very lonely in the military because i was afraid of what people might say about me i let that control me for too many years of my life and just never dated a lot or perhaps being married was just not meant for me. so i can't explain then it i'm sure there's

11:55 pm
assigned to go on time no i'm sure that was part of god's plan even if. i don't always understand it and i don't always agree with the outcome. but. that's what happened and i just really have no regrets. the resigned joy and serving in the military still only job i knew the only life i knew for my entire adult life. my childhood was living in poverty. and i made a decision to join the military because otherwise i don't know what would have become of me.
11:56 pm
and i had a sense of why. i did everything to support the mission down. and did what they wanted me to do but that one thing that's the only thing that they disapproved of. who i'm not seeking any sympathy for them and i put myself in that position but i mean that is a reality a consequence of acting on your conscience can sometimes have these types of results. absent. trying. to. go in i believe in fate i am of that god puts us to the test. maybe
