Good man thank you. No I'm not blindly going with everything. Day in and day out we went up and down the most dangerous of roads, Highway 1 and another route which I will keep anonymous because you don't need to know. The route I left out is probably by far and maybe still is about the number 1 or 2 on the list of most dangerous routes in all of Iraq. So yeah, going up day in and day out made me think, but I honestly sucked it up and did my job. We had a GREAT plan going in in OIF 1 in which I was apart of. We kicked ass and took names. Granted the plan for the downfall of the Iraqi regime was for a better part, not planned out so far. We aren't just fighting Iraqi farmers with a few rifles and grenades. I have been toe to toe with pure 100% Al-Qaeda operatives from foreign lands. They're over there in masses attacking us. So go ahead and think that we ain't protecting your freedoms, because if we weren't over there being targets, guess who would be next? America and the great people of this country. I'd rather be getting blown up and shot at, than have innocent people blown up or killed. Atleast we have more than enough assests to bring upon them to counter their activities. So yeah, we are doing our part. It costs money, but is worth it never the less. If we didn't do this now, we would've had to later. I sure as hell don't want my future children to have to do what I did. I wasn't paied to think, or question. I was paied to act swiftly, proficiently, and down right brutal and deadly. I did that and above, but I need not get into that. I take your opinions and comments very personally. Some people need informed on reality, not what they read and watch. If you were there in person, you would have a different view point on this. And by the way, we're all 100% voluntary force, so nobody put a gun to anyone's head who enlisted and swore in. So I'll drink the punch alright, it's been spiked with freedom liquor and dead Al-Qaeada/Republican Guard blood. And it hits the damn spot. So stop being salty and quit crying. If you don't like it again, vote, run for political office, or just move. It's a free country. And again you can say what you want to and I respect that, I just feel sorry for your wrong mis-lead opinions.
