When I first got here, many people assumed because I was a soldier that I was here because I was fighting on the wrong side, and I needed to learn that my methods were wrong or that I was fighting for a cause that didn't need to be fought for. They were wrong.

I was here as an inmate because I let myself get so caught up in the mistakes I'd made that I lost sight of what we were actually fighting for, and wanted to throw my life away at any opportunity instead of caring about what we were trying to accomplish. I'm leaving to finish what was started because I know it's the right thing to do.

I may be back, if given the opportunity. But I can't spend any more time here acting like I don't have anywhere else to go.

Thank you.

I don't think where I'm going is a suitable environment for a cat.
