not sure where this came from but right now im hella bored and me and some of my co-workers that im deployed here in baghdad with have been talking and we have all come to realize that the human body can really get used to anything. whether it be single, lonely, life or abusing booze every single night and not thinking twice about asking for help when you know you need it.
before coming here i was worried about it because i didnt know what to expect and on the news, you always hear about the war stories. then you get hear. at first it might shake you a bit but then you get used to it. you just dont care. now me and my buddies here will walk home or go to get chow and here shit go off and not even notice it. we get so bored here we wish something would happen. its ironic because we will hear things go off or explosions and wonder what it was. then the very next day on the news we find it was a car bomb or suicide bombers. people dying and we dont just register it as that. how ironic. the very thing i was afraid of. why is this? who knows. not i. things could for sure be a lot worse for me than they are. i really wish people at home (states) would realize everything people do here and what they give up for it. i have seen many a soldier take his last plane home and he wont be walking off like he did when he got here. peoples children every day are dying for this war and i give them mad props. america is absolutly amazing and there is nothing more beautiful than life itself. i wish everyone could appreciate it more and see what some of these guys go through.
once again not sure where i was going with that but im thankful to be here and honored knowing that the choices my military brothers and i have made keep our families sleeping sound night to night. Support the troops...
