An INFANTRYMAN… His emotions are impenetrable yet, his shoulders are soft for those that need someone to lean on. His hands are firm yet, know exactly where they need to be. If he has his arms wrapped around you, you’re either in the last moments of your life or the safest place you could ever be. He’s stubborn but, will let you have your way just to see you smile. He’s deadly with a rifle and gentle ……with a child. He plays poker with the devil but, guards the gate to heaven. He curses like no other but, is the perfect gentleman. He has a thousand yard stare but, when you look into his eyes it’s the most comforting thing you’ve ever felt. The U.S. trained him as a weapon but, raised him as a lover. He knows every part of an M-4 and he knows every curve of his woman. There is no other man like him. Whether you love him or hate him, both is a privilege. He could be your worst nightmare or your best friend.
