From one of my favorite military blogs out of Iraq, 365 and Wake Up has a couple of posts worth your time.
The first is a response to a rather vulgar email his wife received...
can you sleep good, f****n' murderer?
Sadly no, I don’t sleep all that well. Maybe it’s the heat, or just the stacatto missions, but I just haven’t been able to get a solid five hours of rest in the last few weeks. I’m sure you have been in the same situation once or twice. You know the whole “laying in a sleeping bag in a combat zone, staring at the ceiling, half sick with the thought that there was something else you might have fit into your 20 hour day” thing. Oh, wait a second I forgot – you aren’t a soldier. I'd try to compare the stress of my job with the stress inherent to your job, but I really don't know all that much about operating rides at a carnival..
Read the whole thing...its always nice to read someone bitch-slap a moron who deserves it. Well done Thunder 6.
The next post is not as fun to read...
Yesterday on an empty spit of road, on the broken edge of a town you will never see, a woman’s life came to an end. In another Iraq this woman might have been a teacher, patiently nurturing wide eyed children. Or maybe she would have managed a small import/export business, using her natural affinity for languages to sell and trade goods and support a small but happy family. But that
Iraq doesn’t yet exist, and when it does come into being Adele will not be there to see it.
Sad story that the media will never mention...
Visit Thunder 6 often...stay safe!
