Yet another War thread

I know this is probably flogging a dead (or at least mortally wounded) horse. I bring it up again because I am here (Baghdad) and I would like to here your views; answer your questions and share stories with anyone else who has been here.

Just for a little background... I have been in the army for just over 4 years and I'm nearing the end of my second tour here. (Yes I was here for the begining)

"Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors."
Abraham Lincoln

I really don't care about the "war".

I do care about our troops over there, though. I think enough young men and women have died in this political war. I hope it doesn't turn into another Vietnam.

I am about to depart on a journey of my own through the Navy.(probably not your cup of tea but to each his own) Anyway, a good friend of mine(Army) whom I graduated with just returned home from Baghdad a month ago. That was her second tour through Iraq. I also have a good friend who lives in Phoenix, Az who was in the Marines in the first wave into Fallujeh(I know the spelling is fucked) and got shot up pretty good, says he would go back and do it again anytime any day. Anyway....just thought that I would post this(I know that I am rambling)

Thank you all for your posts.

No fears Eye, I'm keeping my head down.

Odinic, You are a brother to me even if your service is different. Please tell your friend who is a Marine that I wish him a speedy recovery and tell him I thank him.

Tenet, With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. - Abraham Lincoln.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your views.
