★— ❛ You say that as though I signed up for the title. For the glory. ❜
Though his rank was earned, and that in itself was an HONOUR - he never read too much into it, given he knew he was a soldier --- with a duty, just as everyone else on the field.
❛ I didn’t get into what I do to be BRANDED a hero. I wanted to be someone to look after others, I wanted to be someone that puts my all into ensuring that people have a peaceful life, that they can come to me for HELP. They called me, at one point, the sentinel of LIBERTY --- and I believe that, because there’s nothing more I want than for people to be FREE; for people to be who they want to be, to love who they want to love, to walk the streets without FEAR in the back of their minds. Ambitious, I know, but it isn’t impossible. ❜
His poise was STRONG --- held HIGH with not a doubt nor hesitation in every word he uttered. He believed this, sincerely, he believed himself.
❛ I ain’t a hero. I’m a soldier. I’m a person who wants to PROTECT others and will do anything to ensure that their lives are kept safe, that any threat that lurks is dealt with. Not only fight for them --- but for JUSTICE; in this day and age, the corruption of government impedes our growth as a nation. So it’s even more important for me to FIGHT. I may don the flag of this nation, but lately, I’m not a believer in it. I am a believer in what it should be; the land of the free. And I’ll keep fighting until we get that. So no, I’m not here for a good time, for glory, for medals and a fancy title --- I’m here to PROTECT, and tip the scales of JUSTICE once more. I’m here for those who need me, and I’ll keep fighting for freedom so long as I live. Brand me what you want, but I know who I am, and I ain’t goin’ to stop any time soon. ❜
