I've been back from my year and a half long deployment for 7 months now. Since I'm in the army national guard, that means that I went back to soldiering once a month and doing the civilian thing the rest of the time. So far this year, I've managed to get my bachelor's degree and acceptance to graduate school. However, I just don't feel happy, and it feels like my life just isn't what it was before. Somehow I'm not as excited about my goals as I was before I got deployed. I certainly haven't had success in my personal life lately, which I think adds to my malaise.

I've been thinking about volunteering for another deployment earlier than necessary. It feels as if I belong in the war zone now, as crazy as that sounds, especially since I was never a supporter of the war. Am I crazy? Has anyone else felt like this?

Please give your opinion and some things backing your opinion.

Personally, I think that we should stay out of Darfur as American soldiers are exactly that, American soldiers, they should not be used as world police, they should be used to defend the homeland. I also believe that if one group of people wants to kill another group of people you can't really stop them without much more killing.

Please, no obnoxious comments bashing "hippies" and no rambling emotional stories about starving Sudanese babies.

Thank you.

During the time I served, I never saw it. I guess it is good in a way because god forbid they get drunk and embarrass themselves, they might lose the respect necessary to lead effectively. Or, it could be the other way around.
Are they allowed to?
Do you think it's a bad idea?

I'm just wondering this because as long as humans exist, there would always be conflicts. These conflicts' gravity could rise . . .

I have a NAVY and a MARINE to keep upbeat while in training.
What are some fun things (and yummy things) they are allowed to have and would also keep them from being too homesick?
They are my brothers, both just graduated High School and just joined now in July 2007.

Thanks a million!!!

My son served as an Army infantryman from 2001 to 2002, but I guess he's still in reserve today. now Army is calling to mobilize him, for the Iraqi war. I will not let him go even if they put me in jail (my son comes home about once a month, I'll make sure the mobilization doc does not get to him, for one thing). But is there anything else that we can do? We have been against this war from the beginning, but I guess they will not take this. How about this: He's our only child, and we are old? Also, his battlefield skills have faded long ago, now he's gained other skills and is working on an important FEMA project? Please help. Should we hire a lawyer?
