Sweet, lets send an additional 20,000 kids to baghdad. Great idea.

I just got the message today that I am deploying in the first weeks of march, about 3 months earlier than I’ve been expecting. Thats awesome.

Yeah, I had a 45 minute one on one with my CO today, just talking about everything. He literally pulls me off to the side sometimes just to talk, me a PFC and him a friggin Captain. I still cant explain it… More or less we leave for NTC tomorrow, get back mid february, then we get about a month to prep up for the deployment… we don’t even know if it is a 12 or 18 month one… fuck. This is 3rd ID’s third time in Iraq. More than any other unit so far.

Oh yeah, I don’t know if I ever mentioned the whole “failing” thing… apparently I can only do 28 pushups to standard, although my new company says I can do 70. Atleast I got the airborne part, right?

Yeah, that blows, been there, done that. Got the t-shirt and burned it when i got home. Bottom line is you signed on the dotted line so go do what youve gotta do and do it as best as you can. Even if its for a dumb fuck president that doesnt know wtf hes doing.

20,000 troops isn’t going to do shit but raise the US casualty rate faster…

add another 0 to that number and you’d be putting enough force in there to control the country
