Ask an Iraq war Vet
 

With the upcoming elections and my 2+2 friends telling me to do this, I decided why not.I've done two tours in Iraq as a Marine totaling 14 months( I am now a civillian again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). Most people I talk to have huge misconceptions of what it is like there, so I thought I would share. Ask me anything.

Ill post some pictures and videos too if there is interest.

How bad do the Iraqis hate America over there?

Do the vets have any clue about how outraged millions of people in America are over this war?

Were you involved in either of the Fallujah assaults?

What is the most stressful aspect of operations in Iraq?

For the most part they hate us alot. Ill quote a high ranking Iraqi Security Forces Guy I worked with. "Yeah it sucked under Sadam, but it was much more peacefull."

Believe it or not most of the Vets are just as, or more pissed about the war

I dont know but she is amazing

I was in Fallujah and a place called EFIC which is rite outside of Fallujah for most of my second tour, which was right after 3/5 retook the city. Fallujah is still a very nasty place.

The most stressfull aspect of Iraq for me was always being uncomfortable. It's HOT, It's COLD, It's Sandy,Your always on edge on Convoys, you talk to the people and wonder why your there,ETC ETC. And above all you miss your family and friends.

What is your opinion on a responsible exit strategy? Based on your experiences, do you think that pulling out sooner rather than later is dangerous (for Iraqis or Americans), or do you think it's a lost cause and we may as well get out while we can?
