Re: Ask an Iraq war Vet
[ QUOTE ]
First, thanks much for your service. How do soldiers feel about Iraq war protesters? I have done it on a few occasions andif you watch Fox News or some bs like that, you'll see selected soldiers talking about how the protesters are being disrespectful or whatever. How do most soldiers feel about people protesting the war and wanting to bring the soldiers home? Do they feel touched or they feel anger toward the protesters? Somehwere in between? Do most soldiers distinguish between war protesting and soldier protesting? [/ QUOTE ] Most people realize the difference between the two. However there are those groups who show up at funerals and say God killed them because the military supports gays, or something stupid like that. Ive never seen the protests except on TV |

Thank you for fighting for us. Better to kill those terrorists there, rather than in New York. Did you bring back any Iraqi Dinar? There are rumors of a revaluation of the currency. [/ QUOTE ] I do have some Dinar old ones w/ saddam and the new joints. |

Re: Ask an Iraq war Vet
Is illicit booze available? What are the penalties if you're caught? Assuming you don't pass out while on watch or anything really serious like that.
