Give it a rest, Top. You know as well as I do that all soldiers bitch, moan and complain (Also, it's your right to hand them a toothbrush and come up with some innovative extra training). However, I've found that the most honest answers come from folks who don't know any better.

Yup if the troops aren't bitchin they aren't hayyp and that goes for peacetime as well as war. However every troop knows that thare are standing orders against making statements to the press without either PIO permission ar a PIO rep present.

Give it a rest??? NO, not today. This young soldier needs to have a boot placed in his 4th point of contact. I understand that nobody likes being "extended".

My nephew was extended past his ETS date and shipped to Iraq with his unit in Feb of this year..READ MY TAG LINE... At no time did he bitch or complain because he KNEW his unit has a mission to complete.

My other nephew who is also stationed in Iraq knows that if..IF we pull this off the Middle East will be changed forever and just maybe I won't have to have my children/ grandchildren/ Great-grand children fight this fucking war.

If I could go there and do the job that has been left to the young men and women to do I would..GLADLY..
