Getting back to the point of the clip. For me, it brought back memories of one of the hardest things I have ever done. Getting out. For four long years I had served. Told what to say and when and who to say it to; what to do what to read, wear, eat drink stand and when to sleep. I had not driven a car, payed rent or changed a TV channel in 3 1/2 years. I had talked on the phone to my family for maybe 30 min total. I was only allowed to take my 30 days annual leave "while at sea". I was 'instutionalised". So getting out was being "free" again. Freedom is scary. Free means"free to starve". Free to fail on my own. Or free to do well and excel. I did well enough for myself. Got a good and liberal education, married and a family to be proud of. I own guns, vote and go to church. I am proud to have served, and now proud contribute to my family town state and country in other ways. That's what being an American is about.
