I personally want our soldiers back home. Everyone talks about needing to attain victory over there, but what do you think that means? I know a lot of Iraqi are glad to have our diciplined force on the ground. But many Iraqis probably think we should leave... What is your pov?

[JonNFielding0341]

I try not to get into that. I only know and can speak intelligently on what I did in Iraq from the time periods I was there for. The situations there change so rapidly to the point where it becomes exhausting thinking about it.

I am glad the Marines have our backs. Do you know the guys involved in the Haditha incident?

[JonNFielding0341]

I know 4 of them but only 1 I would consider as a friend since we used to fly home on leave together.

[JonNFielding0341]

also the guys I knew where involved in Hamandiya not Haditha

I sure prefer the sound of out-going over in-coming...

Are those high pitched sounds near the end the mortars tearing through the air? If so thats the most horrific and terrifying sound ive ever heard.
