A pretty good look at a view on the war, from someone actually going through the war…not a TV camera
summed it up better then i ever could have …
that applies to exactly the same for every branch not just marines.
wow just when you think you’ve forgten a lot of things better left forgotten a letter like that can snap them right back in the open.
Best Chuck Norris Moment — 13 May. Bad Guys arrived at the government center in a small town to kidnap the mayor, since they have a problem with any form of government that does not include regular beheadings and women wearing burqahs. There were seven of them. As they brought the mayor out to put him in a pick-up truck to take him off to be beheaded (on video, as usual), one of the Bad Guys put down his machine gun so that he could tie the mayor’s hands. The mayor took the opportunity to pick up the machine gun and drill five of the Bad Guys. The other two ran away. One of the dead Bad Guys was on our top twenty wanted list. Like they say, you can’t fight City Hall.

Worst Smell — Porta-johns in 120-degree heat — and that’s 120 degrees outside of the porta-john.
i diagree… baghdad’s 200 year old meat market was the worst smell … 200 years of dead anaimal parts left to rot in 120 degree heat. then drying to a powder from them trying to burn it and breathing it in.
the ending almost brought a tear to my eye
