Long story short:
I was with my ex for a year and a half on an off (we are both 25y/o). We broke up because of the strain of the long distance relationship on both are parts he is in the military. We had a bad fallin out about 9 months ago and I cursed him out...pretty bad! I told him never to call me again. But after 3 months I realized that I should have not ended like that. So I called and he said he understood my fustration. Since then I text him once every 3 months to drop a line to see how he is doing. He always responds to the text by calling me...which is cool. But this week he called me out of the blue and we just had a casual conversation for a hour and half.
I still love him but I know it's not possible because he going to Iraq for a year soon, do you think Im waisting my time trying to nurture this friendship/relationship. I have not seen him in a year. But I do like to keep tabs on him being that he has a dangerous job in the military.
Please give me your insight

if he is your friend,and that is all you want to be his friend,then i think you owe it to yourself,to be his friend,altho you said you still love him,i think you love him and want him back but,your second doubting yourself,he is going to a very dangerous place,i think you should tell him how you feel,but that is just my opinion

He is probably calling you for the same reason that you have texted him. Plus he might be feeling reminiscent if he is about to go to such a dangerous place for a year If you guys can be friends, then it's fine to keep in touch. I wouldn't try to start the long-distance romantic relationship again though.

I think you need to quit worrying, and let nature takes it's course.
Sounds like you guys had a pretty bad split, but managed to get through it after all.
Keep in touch, enjoy the friendship, if it turns into something more when you are BOTH ready for that, then that's awesome!! If not, you have a great firend who knows you inside and out, and is willing to talk and listen.

Don't lead him on - if you love him, think about him instead of yourself. I am sure he could use a friend, someone that would write to him and try to keep his spirits up while he is in Irag.
