Hi, Pat Roy. I couldn't have said it any better. This second tour is more than enough. Everyday at work, they announce how many days are left in the deployment. I can't wait to get outa here, get outa the Army, then go back to flight school at K-State in Salina, KS to complete my dream of being a corporate pilot. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm proud of the person that the Army has made me. I've turned my life completly around and am a better person for it and I'm proud of the things that I've done for these people over here. It does stink for the soldiers to be over here, but it's necessary. I just wish more people would enlist in whatever military organization and help serve instead of expecting others to go out and fix things themselves while those people stay back and watch on the news and complain about all the bad things going on. I wish the danged US Media would convey more of the good things. I found SEVERAL Iraqi news websites that tell some of the good things going on, which is a heck of a lot more than what the US media conveys. It ticks me off that those people show the good things on the internet, but you'd never find that on any US media website or news show. I'll never understand it. How quickly we forget things.
