when the thought of me leaving for iraq comes up, i really dont think much of it to be honest with you. but i know as the time nears, it will finally hit me that i will be leavin my family for a full year. its a fucked up situation, but i knew when i joined that i would have to go over there. i joined to give my family a better life and so far thats what we have. the iraq situation will make it even better. a lot of ppl dont agree with it, but ultimately im just doing my job. it is what it is
