My boy did two tours of Iraq as a combat medic. The guys in his platoon took real good care of him. They did not want their medic hurt. The only weapon he carried was a 9mm side arm. He needed his hands free to work. He is also a weight lifter and they knew he could pick them up and go if they were injured. He saw some bad things while there. He came back a better man but a much different man.
He is out now and thank god he does not have to serve under Obama.
He's part of the 32nd (Red Arrow) Brigade of the WI National Guard; 3200 strong. He was among the first to come home.:)
