"The men and women and especially the children of Iraq are worth fighting for, when I see them I know that any sacrifice I can make is worth it. What kind of man would I be if I refused to help someone in need? How could I live my life knowing that someone was being tortured and I stood by and sipped my latte and refused to get off my ass? I don't know if you will ever understand what drives me Mom, just being able to help one Iraqi is worth my life. People on this planet are so hell bent on persecuting others, they are so concerned with appearing strong that they prey on the weak and the helpless. Mom, the people of Iraq were helpless and being crushed by a petty clone of Adolf Hitler, now they have hope where before they had none."

A thousand "Thank You's " isn't enough.

Stay safe.

I read a lot of crap on the Internet that wastes my time.

This is the absolute opposite of that. Thanks for posting this.

I am at a loss for words, what a brave and disciplined man. A true example of the very definition of manhood.

Gob Bless our Heroes and their families.

BTTT!

“Iraq is the whole bag of marbles, if our ideas win there, then militant islam will wither on the vine and eventually die.”

This pretty much sums it up for me.

You can't destroy a determined, stateless enemy in the courts. You have to 'get up close' to them... place your bad-ass butt right in their kitchen.

An independent Iraq will be poison to the militant Islam that permeates it's arab neighbors.

Thanks for the post and the ping.

There is a fair number of freepers in Iraq or who have served there and are back here.

One of our retired Army guys, Old Sarge, is back in the Army and in country.

God bless all of our warriors for the job they have done, are doing and will do in Iraq.

Today I leave for the war

Well it's time to go and do what I have been called to do. Today I head for to the war for the third time and I have some things to say. To me this is a blessing, a calling from God to do what I can to help our brave men and women in uniform. Also this post is for my family as some of them still don't understand why I am on my third trip to Iraq. First of all:
