These days we are having quite a few sand storms that suck ass. The debris in the air makes everything have a orange tinge to it.
Here’s some political shit I have learned since being in country:
A1 Steak Sauce- We ain’t getting out of here for a very long long time. I don’t give a shit who becomes the next President. You think any candidate (considering how corrupt Democrats and Republicans are) will give up one of the largest oil reserves in the Middle East? Not to mention the fact the Shiite majority will give us a gateway for further diplomacy and future trade with Iran. Troop levels will go down but otherwise this occupation is here for the long run.
B2 Bomber- Since Blackwater has fucked up new contractors and mercenaries have popped up to take their place. That’s the way of the world. (cue Flipper song)
C3-PO- I guess the troop surge has worked since Iraq has calmed down a lot. Although it could be more likely attributed to the fact most Sunnis have cut ties to Al Queda. I’ve been driving all around Iraq waiting for an IED to blow my ass up for the past six months.
You lose your sanity out here as nothing really happens to us. We’ve had few close calls but otherwise Iraq is somewhat of a joke calling it a war.
I won’t feel like a hero coming back home and I’m not really scared of coming back here either. I don’t want to re-deploy out to Iraq again simply because it is a shit hole and it’s just like the game Call of Duty 4, except a lot more boring and a lot more gay…
Semper Fidelis,

Excellent work. Best feature on this site. It’s a little depressing hearing your insights, but I appreciate them.

“Not to mention the fact the Shiite majority will give us a gateway for further diplomacy and future trade with Iran.”
Exactly. Iraq will serve as a giant US embassy in the middle east, which, over time will promote closer relationships with secular Middle Eastern Leaders as well as pushing globalization (or US imperialism, depending on which you you look at it) on under-developed Middle Eastern Countries.

And how did Blackwater fuck up? I don’t know anything about that.

They killed a bunch of civilians, among other things. I find this dude entertaining, like a low budget, nerdy Michael Yon, but he could certainly do better.

I fucking love these articles. It’s nice to hear from a soldier instead of some congressmember or anchorperson or even worse a fucking pundit.
