I know there's a Society of Displaced Rebels Against Kings and Rulers around here, which ain't exactly what I'm looking for. Let's see if I can phrase this right. I ain't knocking it. But I'd like to start a group that's more me? Displaced Military something something?
Meaning, I ain't a rebel. I do as I'm told, even if they turn out to be things I ain't ever gonna be proud of. There ain't an officer out there who's got some regrets about something in their military careers. Some even got more than just a few. Reckon you just learn to live with it. But yes, I do as I'm told. Mostly. I improvise a lot, okay? I got a list of medals, ribbons and recommendations that's longer than my forearm. I salute the flag. When the National Anthem comes up, I stand up. I always stood up, regardless of whether I was bedridden or in a wheelchair. That's how I rolled. Literally, once upon a time. And yes, my doctors gave me some serious side eye for even trying.
I've just come from an alternate timeline where I was stranded, basically in a witness program where I was forbidden to rejoin the military, fly anything or even talk about my experiences in Stargate. I ain't gonna do that again. I flat out refuse.
And I miss my job. My original timeline. Because. It's normal.
Pft,they're just looking at me funny because we got beat up. But we WON!
But I know I'm not alone.
And if this just turns out as a group where we war veterans just talk about our experiences, that's okay too.
