Soldiers
I was almost suprized at how well the elctions went off in Iraq. The Insurgency could have caused alot more havoc and failed to. No real Tet Offensive Iraqi style. OH, but don't go thinking this is some type of Clausewitzian turning point. There is going to be more hard day's ahead. I'm just glad it went off as well as it did.
Peter Jennings Of ABC news did a peice on the youth of Soldiers. This month marked 19 years since I first joined. Then early one morning after my High School Graduation I found myself standing in a long single file line going into a little white shack waiting to eat. The line was over a foot ball feild long and it was 2AM. I remember thinking to myself "what the hell have I gotten myself into?"
Well here it is 18 1/2 years later and I'm still here. Three years Active Duty and the rest Reserves. I've had fun, freinds, frustrations and disgust. I hang in there though. I love being a Soldier and I love being with Soldiers. No point to make, just my own reflections...And I have alot of those.
Those "kids" deserve good leadership.
Soldiers are good people.
