I said everything except the beating infants part. Seriously it was garbage, but you guys can feel free to ask questions, I will answer with the truth... unlike the media. P.S. Burning shit was the highlight of the year. Of course the hand grenade in the washing machine was pretty kewl too till one of our guys decided to email it to a friend and then it ended up on the net.

I have some serious questions:

Do you think war is wrong?

Do you think war works?

If you think war is right and works, why?

Would you ever want to go back into the warzone?

1) Im kind of afraid to ask but what was your impression and interaction with the locals like?

Good friendly people. You have to understand though that if you where not a MP or Infantry in my area your interaction with actual Iraqis was at a minimum. I mostly dealt with Turks and Kurds.

2) What was the most tense moment over there?

There would be no definitive answer for this one for me.

3) What was the best moment over there?

Leaving

4) What was the absolute worst moment iover there?

Arriving and the whole stay until I left.

5) What gave you the shits the most while over there? Ie what event pissed u off the most?

The big bosses willing to risk our necks without a fight every chance they got to kiss ass... oh yeah and being there in the first place.

6) What made you the happiest or what was the most gratifying while over there? (Probably leaving lol)

Leaving

I have some serious questions:

Do you think war is wrong?

Define wrong

Do you think war works?

Yes, as with any tool when used properly it can prove to be very effective.

If you think war is right and works, why?

This one requires more indepth response than my drunk ass can handle at this point in time. I will repsond to it a little later.

Would you ever want to go back into the warzone?

No

wrong as in morally, as in these differences can be solved in other ways, as in people shouldn't have to result to bombing and shooting and killing, wrong as in war shouldn't exist and we shouldn't need armies.

Only in the perfect world would war not exist, but it's a dream.

Yes but for now we're living in Bush's wet dream.
