As much as I'm against the war in Iraq, I can't feel a bit sorry for this guy. He signed up and it's too late now. Hell, he probably even voted for Bush. Live by the sword, die by the sworrd.

There's no shortage? So then it shouldn't be a problem if some people don't want to make multiple deployments... Anyway, which base are you at right now?

This is the only response i give to trolls.

Why in the hell did he enlist in the US Army in the first place then? And if he's a sergeant in the Army, then this most likely isn't his first enlistment. He is fully indoctrinated into what being a soldier is all about. I call bullshit on his new morality and say hello to newfound cowardice.

i have a cousin who is a vet of the first Desert Storm and says this war is bull$hit!
I think most of us realized that, but we aren't the CinC.
