Depressing Christmas for us soldiers, page 1

I feel for you and your comrades. If I had one wish for Christmas it would surely be that you and all other soldiers can just come home safe and sound, like RIGHT NOW!

Hey there, I don't mean to be a downer or anything but if you were fighting for the freedom of the American people you wouldn't be in Iraq. You'd be outside the White House. That being said, though, everyone needs a job, and yours requires a lot of responsibility.

I couldn't care about Christmas at all, but I do wish you luck, OP.

if they are, I doubt they will be going to my FOB since it is a backwater post. They will most likely appear in green zones and logistical camps that have great support.

Iraq has no shortage of soldiers, however I hear Afghanistan is getting a lot more troops because I guess the Taliban are pushing back hard.

I think you have a sense of humor and I think I am also showing my age! I would personally like to kick some Taliban butt, but don't let my name fool you - I'm female and a little wary of their brand of sharia law.

Respect and thanks.

Hey battle buddy,

While I haven't been in Iraq during X-mas I certainly was in Korea away from everyone I love so I know to a degree what it's like.

Just look at it this way, the government is paying you good to be over there so that's your x-mas pressent, and guess what? it will be double x-mas with your family when you are back!

Hang in there.

SPC B.

There was good progress this week towards bringing you men and women home.
A huge thread called "American Soldier Makes a Great Speech". He made a great video and posted it on Youtube, check it out.
Also, Obama's approval rating drop from about 50 to 46 % after the annoncement of 30,000 more troops to afganistan.

Keep safe and strong!

That is so true about the money thing, now if only the higher ups could stop being a blue falcon and screwing up people's pay then thing would be dandy

I heard Barbara Streisand, Bob Saget, and Bart Simpson are heading to Iraq to spread holiday cheer?

Is that TRUE?

My thoughts exactly.

No doubt about it.

This is very good news indeed. I wonder how long congress can keep up this fabrication of fighting for freedom and when will they be replaced by less corrupt personel.

Well....first of all you probably arent a soldier..no disrespect. I am an intuitive and know to spot things that are there but are not there to most. Im 100% sure matter fact.
Most usually say that I am asinine, mentally ill, or whatever when I make comments like this but Im ok with it and fully understand.

However I do see what you are trying to do...A representing of sorts what most likely is hidden feelings and thoughts of many soldiers.

"A soldiers hidden self exposed on Christmas Day" would make a good heading for this post.

Yeah I call BS. And if it's not BS then I'm sorry to see such a disrespectful whiny little twerp in the military. You should be dishonorably discharged.
