Ask A Veteran?

[bdydrpdmazda]

Want to know whats really going on in Iraq, just ask me, today marks my tenth month in country so I think I have a pretty good idea. Ill answer any question that wont get me in trouble.

[bdydrpdmazda]

damn, no questions huh

[HvyArms]

Uh yeah :raises hand: when are you leaving?:confused:

[bdydrpdmazda]

33 days

Lol..damn man how much validation do you need? WE GET THE FACT YOU ARE SERVING IN IRAQ. How many posts have you started talking about the same shit we get bombarded with daily? There are plenty of members here who have served and NEVER started self serving posts. You're not that important. BTW, Colin Powell is a veteran. Not some self absorbed moron who posts on forums to inflate his ego.

[HvyArms]

I guess what I was asking is, um, when are ALL OF YOU leaving? I mean, dude, we're "stable". Be gone! Vamanos, poof paff!

In your observations / experience, what percentage of the citizens like our presence versus those who resent our being there? How far along is the Iraqi Security Forces really?

[ahmonrah]

how many kills have you got? i'm asking 'cause a marine buddy of mine stopped counting at 84, that was after 6 months and he was there for 1.5 years. that was 2001

I would say 75 percent of the people hear dont mind our presence and the other 25 percent can stand the fact that were here and dont see that we are trying to help them.

if you dont like then dont read the threads Ive posted, others in IA are curious about what goes on and want to know more about the war than just what they see on the news.

i actually like hearing stories from actual people over there and it not be twisted by media. unless you guys that keep bitching bout iraq shit actually know someone PERSONALLY who has been there and seen pictures and heard THEIR stories, you really dont know. the stuff you hear from actual people you know and relate to is 100 times different then media shit

[bdydrpdmazda]

thats what I thought but apparently some people feel they have to read my threads and speak for everyone when they say for me to stop posting threads about Iraq.

What caused that? roadside bomb, RPG, Machine gun fire? Hope noone was hurt. Be safe.

My buddy just got back and he was showing mesome pictures of the aftermath of roadside bombs. Pretty scary stuff. He also had 3 videos of him riding a camel; in the last video, the camel farted while he was on it.
