Try having a thought that isn't about Jews, every TIC, I fought for the guys immediately around me. How about you key-board warrior?
A lot of my buddies get by the same way, with hate driving their worldview. It is far from hate without reason, all of us who did the Surge have reason.
Curious Jow Forumsomrade, were you 2nd ID? We were suppose to join you guys at Baqubah, but are retarded as fuck BCO kept us where we were.
>What gets me through the truly tough times is laughter
I haven't truly laughed since I've been out, but the funniest shit I ever experienced was my time in uniform. Agree, it is good to keep that perspective. Honestly innumerable stories that make me chuckle everytime I think about them, and I'm thankful to have every such memory.
We really didn't do much better, but local security forces were worthless. We chased gun-fire and explosions more than we prevented them, practically every fucking day during the Surge. We'd show up and it was all over, outside of one incident, we had no one to chase down and kill (not my shot). Otherwise it was nearly daily pandemonium, innocent people killed because they simply had a spiritually different worldview. I never held anything against the majority of Iraqis, they were only try to get by and survive the same as we were. They paid the price more than we did, it is easier to attack defenseless civilians than guys with weapons who know how to use them. Local National security forces were a secondary target (we were tertiary) because they were undertrained, many times corrupt, and complacent.
Had several days in a row where they'd place some policeman on a high-volume intersection, we'd pass them alive only to see them shot to pieces on our return to base.
It really was more Wild West than the objective Wild West.
