I missed Afghanistan when I came home last year, and when I finally come home to stay, I'll go through all this again.

I really dread coming home and looking for work and trying to explain to potential employers where I've been and what I've done and feigning enthusiasm for the machts nix penny ante BS they think is important.

Yes, it changes you in ways you never expected.

I tried to stay home for good in '05 and found myself bored beyond belief and feeling like a fish out of water.

I'm going to have to deal with that eventually, though. (Sigh...)

So very true. I have no other words. Nothing else needs to be said.

Lots of us the same place you are. The passing decades don’t change things at all. Nothing you say or do will ever get through to those people. Never.
