Conviction is the word of the day.

I feel very off lately. A lot of that has to do with outside sources (IE: one person being an absurdly huge ass, and people turning a blind eye).

When dealing with military men (not really the women so much) I find that they think they know more than anyone else about the military.
God forbid that they might be wrong on something as huge as this.

I'm a huge advocate of speaking up. If I see a hit and run and happen to get the licence plate number- I'm going to stop and wait for the police. Why? Because it's the right thing to do.

A topic I am unwavering on is abuse. End of story.
I don't take threats, I refuse to turn a blind eye to cheaters, I wont put up with it.
When dealing with men in the military that are abusive, it's never their fault.
They feel that because they are in the military they are protected. And if the other party is civilian? Well they can't do anything about it!

Yeah, no. I come from a military family. I know more than I'm given credit for about chain of command, and that's fine.
What I can't stand is that when I encourage someone who is being harassed, threatened and made out to be crazy for "not just taking it" I become a "bad" person.
Wait.. what?
I am a bitch for not letting a piece of shit airman get away with this?
Wow.
That's the exact reason that military think they are allowed to get away with crap like this.
When everyone around them "lol"s the matter and turns a blind eye, all those people are doing is condoning the act and encouraging it to happen again.

FUCK that.

People can call me a bitch all they want, at least I have the back bone and can follow through on doing what I know is right.

In the end at least I'll be able to tell my child that not only do I know the difference between right and wrong, but I have the conviction to stand up for whats right.
