I went to a wedding over the weekend and talked to an Air Force pilot that was there who just got back from his tour.
He said most of what they show on the news makes it way worse looking than it really is.
Said the people are just happy to have their economy starting back again with more freedom to do business.
Said most of the troops aren't allowed off base now with the fractional fighting and its just a small groups of guys that have to do the recon to give the appearance that we're still there that end up getting hurt.
Said the food was incredible on base. They got 3 big meals a day and had steaks, lobsters, seafood, the works.
Said about 1/2 the troops think we need to stay longer and 1/2 said we should pack it up and come home.
