Your alarm goes off; you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes
He stays up for days on end

You take a warm shower to help you wake up
He goes days or weeks without running water

You complain of a `headache`, and call in sick
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward

You put on your anti war/don`t support the troops shirt, and go meet up with
your friends
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt

You talk trash about your `buddies` that aren`t with you
