Believe it or not, some, and I would dare say most of the soldiers that are over there, are there because they want to be. It is their job, it is what they want to do with their lives, they actually love it. I have great respect for these men. The ones bitching and whining about it are the ones that joined for eductation money, to run away from their problems, or because they just couldn't do anything else. There is great honor in the first type of soldier I mentioned, and I will always support these men.

There is no way in Klingon Hell that you can convince me that somebody would love to be in Iraq for a whole goddamned year. Sure I support the troops more than anybody else but this shit chews raw cat's ass.
It's hot, smelly, danger at every turn and shakey politics. Let's do what we can to make their stay more pleasant like send em' goodies if we're allowed.
