Do you have a friend or family member that has... served in Iraq?

Question

Please tell us about it.

Answer 1

I did have... he died.. enough said.

That is why I hate this war so much and the man who started it.

Answer 2

Yes. My best friend's husband is serving his second tour in Iraq right now. He's in the Army, part of the scouts.

Many interesting insights from those who are actually there.

Answer 3

Yes. He's done two tours in Afghanistan and is in Iraq and thinks we're the greatest thing that's happened to that country. His native interpreters feel the same.

Answer 4

I have a friend who was one of the first marines in Iraq. He had it a little more action that what is going on now.

Answer 5

Step Brother.

He loved it, but had to come back because a ball bearing from a roadside bomb ripped a quarter size hole all clear through his leg.

Now he has a desk job making a crapload of money and they are paying for his college 100% and possibly his wifes. He also got 35,000$ from the military for getting hurt.. I guess something to keep his mind off the pain?? I am not sure why.

Answer 6

My Nephew is a seargent in 23rd Marines and has served two tours there as a rifleman.

Answer 7

Yes, LT in the army.

First thing he said when he told me about was where was all the negative the media reported. That tells the story.

Answer 8

Answer 9

My husband returned from Iraq on Oct. 5th and redeploys in late June. The original return date was September but thanks to the 'troop surge' it's been pushed up.
