What makes the Iraq war an even harder pill for him to swallow is the fact that he doesnt understand the rationale for it. After all, Iraq never attacked America, he notes.He'll be a democrat in congress here soon. And he'll be the dem nominee for president in 2024.

Good frickin grief. This coupled with the NY Times article on deranged vets is all the MSM has to offer in coverage of this heroic mission. **** them.

Every soldier I’ve ever known, complains. The food, the CO, the enemy, the quarters...it’s an art form:)
This guy though, is whining- not complaining. BIG difference.

"As a child, Jordan always wanted to become a career military man. But he didnt get around to joining the Army until a couple years after graduating from Pilgrim. He lacked direction, and decided to do his country a favor take advantage of his country by enlisting in the Army." There...fixed it

We don’t need to criticize him. If this gets out to the guys he serves with he will get a raft of sh*t, at the very least.

Of course it sucks being in Iraq. It sucked being at Guadalcanal or Bastogne or the Chosin Reservoir. It sucked being at Valley Forge.

He lacked direction, and decided to do his country a favor by enlisting in the Army. favors and duty rarely coincide,but the reporter has his slant....sit down talk with a kid,let the kid talk, and print your story....see thats what the kid said, see, see...and Newt Gingrich's mom is still right, she is a bitch, ain't that right Connie?

...then a couple of IEDs [improvised explosive devices] go off or a couple of bullets go by your head and you go, Whoa, what is this I got myself into? And then you start thinking too much. I don't like to criticize any serviceman or woman, so all I'll say is: Wow, seems like the boy matured in the blink of an eye.

Wow, a soldier not happy in a war zone, that has probably never happened before President Bush was CIC.

Hey, it sucked and he did it and from what he says he'll do it again. If I see him I'll buy him a drink.
Soldiers do it even when it sucks, the kid is a soldier.

It’s every soldier’s God given right to gripe. I thought Vietnam sucked. In 1945, my Dad thought the South Pacific sucked. In 1943, my uncle thought Europe, viewed from a B-25, sucked. It’s not a pleasant job, and no one has to pretend it is; it just has to be done. Even when it’s FUBAR.

Dear Jordan.....
You bitch whine and complain all you want while yer in harms way. It’s a GI’s right too do so .......just be careful ya vent too .....just other GI’s and not the public.
Then ya become something I do not condone at all !
Thanks for taking your turn in the barrel Jordan. I didn’t like SEA, SWA, Grenada, Panama, Beirut or Mogadishu etc etc either...bitched like it was the 28th day every day and it did me no good but piss off my team and those around me so I quit when I learned that hard lesson.
Suck it up troop and get even , not mad. If ya want to make it a career ya have to get yer head straight NOW !
Stay Safe !!

"What makes the Iraq war an even harder pill for him to swallow is the fact that he doesnt understand the rationale for it. After all, Iraq never attacked America, he notes." The Hussein regime never honored the armistice/surrender agreement.

We were just kind of standing around, and then we heard a single crack and the wall, just a few feet away from my face, exploded. It went Ka-boom, said Jordan. He was the target of a sniper Yeah, I've heard that, that in a war zone there's a good chance someone might shoot at you. Where'd this guy get his training, Miss Prim's Finishing School? WTF indeed.
To: got_moab?
Not a chance in hell I’m trusting a reporter who writes as this one does to give any soldier an honest quotation. This story drips with agenda. IMHO.
