The Soldier - Celestial Navigations

[mccrabbsmovies]

There is a portrait of Geoffrey Lewis, BETTER ANGELS up to view for those who wish.

[dlholton]

what a moving video...really makes you appreciate the sacrifices that our military men & women make for us & our country

[LibertyOne001]

Awesome piece!

[reconnoob]

@steven27 A physical item doesn't always mean as much as a simple "thank-you"

Also, I'm quite sure most soldiers have an adequate sex life.

[Steveman27]

This video is really sad... And I don't mean sad as in emotional like you feel when you feel so glad you could cry, no, what I mean is that, despite the parades and thanks and handshakings form many people to those soldiers, those many people don't want them to have good any further than that, nothing further, no significant sex life, nothing. a stupid little thank you and verbal priase only goes so far and that's about it, it doesn't help them get what they actually out of life like a nice car.

[spudnutsncoffee]

Damn. A grown man, sitting here nearly crying my eyes out. This is very moving.

[ikie12pts]

This has touched me. What a truly honest video.

[AmericAWordsMatter]

The American Soldier, past and present, we have fought for the belief of freedom. We have given all for this liberty, prepared to sacrifice all for this ideal. We desire to enable the world to enjoy life in peace. It pauses me to reflect.

[lindapoppert]

Wow, I'm saying thank you as I'm in tears...Thank you to our service men, I love all of you and may all that exists protect and bring you all the good life has to offer. A Proud Army, Mom

[Steveman27]

@lindapoppert That's really nice to hear, but if you really want to thank them, then you should also agree that they should be able to get sex before they go off to war. Some of them don't make it back alive, some of them make it back alive but are physically disabled. Not only should all men get all the sex they want with the women they want it with, but these male soldiers should be given immediate opportunity to just that, even if it means prostitution. Sex is more than a want, it is a need.

[KyaraExMachina]

@Steveman27 -- you are a reprehensible human being!

[Steveman27]

@KyaraExMachina Why? Because I'm simply pointing out the obvious. I don't know what "reprehensible" means although I might have the word once or twice in my life, but I doubt it's a compliment coming from you, but I am sure I am most defintiely not reprehensible anyway, and I'm thinking you're a stupid idiot whose wrong, and deep down, you know I'm right and you're wrong. Also, I heard the men who killed Osama a few days ago didn't REALLY get rewarded. Men deserve to have it good to, you know.

[Steveman27]

@KyaraExMachina What you don't seem to understand is that it's really deep down on a psychological level that many people claim to "thank" those men in the military, but yet at the same time, DON'T want them to have it extremely good because a lot of them say they were just doing their job, which is not thanking them but reather just expecting them to do something. Even though you nor I mayb be in the military, I still deserve an abundant sex life just like you might. And sex IS a need, BTW.

[Steveman27]

@KyaraExMachina Personally, I think by your immature, insulting remarks you gave me, that you are nothing more than an ignorant person who fails to see that many people really don't want soldiers in the military significantly thanked. and what i mean by significantly thanked, I mean where they get reward money, a nice car, vouchers for brothels in Nevada, stuff they can REALLY enjoy.

I am at least a good of a person as you may be, though you are very ignorant and you need to mature a bit more..

[Steveman27]

@KyaraExMachina I just looked up what reprehensible means. I am defintiely NOT that at all so you're totally ignorant and wrong. what I'm saying is that I think many people claim to "thank" military soldiers, but on a psychological level, they are looked at as not as worthy for the magnitude for what they do compared to the magnitude of good someone else might do if they weren't in the military but did a simliar type of something to make people feel great proportionate to their training.

[Steveman27]

@KyaraExMachina Fifth and final response for now, assuming I have to set you straight again due to any further possible ignorance cominf from you. Men deserve to have it as good as women can have it.

All men should have abundant sex lives with the women they want it with and those same women should want and need sex with them JUST AS MUCH as vice versa.

And virgin men as old as 30 should get sex with at least 100 women.

Virgin men OVER 30(31, 32, etc.) should have sex with at least 200 women.

[KyaraExMachina]

@Steveman27 JFC! Talk about someone with ISSUES! 

[Steveman27]

@lindapoppert And remember, not all of those male soldiers have girlfriends or wives and kids waiting for them back at home, some of them might be sad, sex-starved virgins, THOSE are the male soldiers I'm referring to. Also, I find it insulting how TV makes women like in the Resident Evil movies and in that movie Salt look SUPERHUMAN, if they're so tough and hard to Kill, then have THEM go out there to war, not those men they EASILY work over or EASILY kill in mere seconds in the movies.

[KyaraExMachina]

@Steveman27 -- awwwww someone got turned down at the bar again I see.

[bigbubba549]

I had a hard time listening to this on XM radio, and it is even harder with a video attached. Great work! Makes me proud to be an American!

[kencodes]

I'm pleased to have all of the Celestial Navigations works. Geoff and the group are the best! As a Viet Nam Vet - this get to me. Semper Fi

[milo515]

This was the best video and done so well. All schools should play this in class

[TunesNorth]

Wow! That was incredible, that is truly one of the most touching stories I have ever heard.

That a sample of, no matter what branch, no matter what year.

Once a brother, aiways a brother!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

A Proud US Navy Veteran!

[hudsonkm]

And I forgot to say.. This is an amazing video.

[TheDrifter1987]

This is most prevalent for those who have served in the Marines. All one needs to see is that Eagle, Globe and Anchor, and you instantly know: "THERE'S a Brother Marine." For professionals who have proudly served, they're really NOT "total strangers" at all. Semper Fi!!!  Thanks for posting!!!

[hudsonkm]

You are absolutely correct. Was the proudest moment in my life when I had my EGA's placed in my hand after final inspection in basic. (We didnt have the crucible back then, so we received them at a different time than the Marines enlisting now.)

[TheDrifter1987]

Wonderful story!!! It doesn't really surprise me, though. There is a bond amongst servicemen and women that is truly impossible to put into words. It's just something that is understood by those that had served, made the sacrifices, and ended up "humbly proud" of what they've accomplished.
