Yeah dude, no one cares what your political view is in this thread, if you want to make a post like that, start a thread in friendly corner. That was just low, doobie is over there sacrifcing a ton for everyone and you say something like that, thats just terrible.

Thank you Devildog, for your sacrifice too!! Stay safe and stay low until that fine day when you return as well! Keep us posted!

I only said I have nothing but respect for the armed forces. Half of my friends are career military. My family is tied into the military as well. I dont mean any dis-respect. And I am happy that Doobie is safe. I am very happy he will make it back safe, i just found out news about my close friend, he is not coming home from iraq.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend and can understand the anger you must feel right now. Your friend has done his job as a soldier...he has given the ultimate sacrifice so you and everyone else may be free. He is a true hero...don't disrespect him by saying he had no reason to be there.

Any word on when Doobie will be home?

Also, Army, do you know when you'll be in Iraq and in need of care packages? Since I missed this thread for Doobie... I'll have to send you two!

[Trina]

Doobie should be home in around two weeks!!

Thanks, teufelhunden, I'm sure he'll appreciate the thought!!

[spazzed]

Glad to hear you're almost home Doobie!

Trina & Doob, if ya'll are ever in Knoxville, gimme a shout & I'll treat ya to a ole' fashioned college barcrawl

To the rest of you guys (& gals) who are still in their tours, you all have my utmost respect & heartfelt gratitude for your service...

[Trina]

Thanks spazzed!! Almost sounds like a good enough reason for a road trip...LOL!

[Creative Mayhem]

Drunken outings aren't the ONLY reason to go on roadtrips... geeze.



Wait... I take that back, thats why I go to AO meets

I knew you weren't that naive

When people were interviewed over there after we invaded, they were pissed at us for doing so. I dont know where you get your information, but Iraq is a much worse place to live in now.

O.K I will only say a couple of things: 1. Don't believe all of the media. They show you the interviews that will make news. I have been KISSED by people who have been so happy to see us. They have come to me with tears of joy when they got a job as a translator earning about $220 a month because they only made about $5 a month before the war. The average wage is way up. Sewers no longer run down the street and the water out of the tap is now fit to drink.
2.I am sorry about your friend but he, like me, was an adult who had no doubts about what he had signed up to do. The Army exsits to fight and win our nation's wars. period. I too have lost people I know over here. All of them are heroes in my eyes.
3. I have no ill will about the comment, just leave it outta my thread. Thanks.
O.K. I'm done.

I will be home soon and I can not wait! Trina and I will be going to the Smokeys for a little seclusion and relaxation.

Army...now you see why I love Trina? She is very kind like that.

Thanks again to all and good luck to those continuing the fight!
