F > N: FACES ARE MORE THAN NUMBERS

The War(s)go on. The economy sucks and the recession is "officially" in effect. For those in the know and on the street, the recession's been with us since 2007.  A steady paycheck, health benefits and a roof over your head is one of the upsides of being in the military during a time like this but there's a price.  Freedom ain't free...LOL.  Since being in this military world for little over a year-I've run across a spectrum of people each with their own reasons for joining. They are as my friend Dylan Black says,  the "soul of the machine."   F >N  is a reflection and commentary on some of those people I have gone through training with and a reality check of what we face while we serve for various reasons.  

Whether you agree or not with one's decision to serve, we are still somebody to someone out there...a face to a number.
