So let me get this straight, you are volenterring to go into a hot zone, to do more for a country that is screwing its service men left and right. Take it from a disabled Vet, combat is not cool, glorious, or anything one should be so eager or quick to jump into. I pray for all of those who are in it and hope they come home safely, but if you dont have to go, I wouldn't make a point of being there. Hell most of my tour was spent in Bosnia, Croatia, Masedonia, and finally Kosovo. Its sucked reall bad, and its was no way close to what those troops are going thru in IRAQ. I wish you well if you do go, and I will pray for your return. I as a former soldier, I support them 100%, but that doesnt mean I support a government that willing throws lives away for causes that dont benefit the country.
