Iraq is a different place today than it was when I was there.

Ofc ur not there anymore!111!

He's going back, if I'm not mistaken.

And to the people who are like "Well he should have been awake" and stuff like that. You guys are dumb shits. Let's see you stay awake days on end in one spot with nothing to do, continously observing what is going on. You'd probably shoot yourself.

not gonna know whether Im going back until after June.

who knows.  expect the worse, hope for the best.   I wouldnt mind going back but Id rather not put everything on hold for the duration of the deployment just to get back to where Im at right now.

If US can't keep a man awake, who can? There is no excuss, this ain't a video game, that's the US military. This is real life.

Oh wait, I can kill anyone I want, once I get bored and when "there is nothing to do"

Ah there's always something to do. The army finds things to do.

Yea, it seems like things are calming down over there a bit. You don't here about car bombings so much as before, but I could be wrong.

not really the situation in country thats keeping me from going.   In june, Im completing 8 years service.  But, they could keep me passed my ETS date for the duration of a deployment.  Thing is, no body knows when we are leaving, but we are leaving, and soon.  If they find out when the deployment will be before I get out (which is most likely) then there is a very probable chance that they keep me in and stop loss me.  If they dont have the word from up above before june, Im 100% civie again. 


Sucks for them though, I just felt the first wave of short timers syndrome this week when I realized "WTF man, Ive only got 4 months left".   Like I said, I wouldnt mind going, but Ive had specific plans for myself once I was discharged from active duty.  School was the main one, reserves were a second.  I could explore a future career in a different MOS while I take advantage of schools and training this MOS gets priority for. A second deployment was not in my crystal ball.  Now, because of this deployment, school dates are closed.  Training that isnt necessary for the deployment is canceled.  Which sucks too, I could have gone to Jordan for a couple of weeks (like right now) if it wasnt for this surgery I had.  And having a little girl wasnt in the works either, but that happened.  I think the best thing for me and mine is for me to stay home, finish school and charlie mike this motherfucker.


But, again, I could see the upside to going back, especially with the rank and position I have now.  5 times more cash than I was making the first time.  Psyop has a lot of individual freedom compared to the rest of the army when performing duties outside the wire and in the FOB.   I get to buy that Cadillac CTS Ive always wanted when I get back.

Well, my dad has been in for 25 years now. He makes around $100,000 a year. Sometimes even more when he gets bonuses. I'd stay, but I don't know anything about the army really. Whatever is the best choice for you .

An "Iraqi civilian" is just a person who would be a terrorist if he had the opportunity and the testicles.

99 out of 100 of them would have Christianity, Judaism, and our culture erased if they could. This guy probably just didn't have the nutsack to blow himself up or the balls to be an insurgent. No sympathy.

"our culture"?! YOU do not have any culture. you're just retarded

Wow. Just wow. You stereotype Iraqis. You wish they were dead. You assume they are all terrorists.

What the hell is wrong with you all?

it's pretty bad when we put people in war zones and then convict them for acting like they're in a war zone.
