Critics
I don’t understand why the critics are making such a big deal over our tough time in Iraq. There was a tyrant; some people benefited from his evil regime and when the tyrant was deposed, those people feared they would not only not benefit from this change but be persecuted. So now they are fighting the change. And perhaps they think if they hold out long enough, they will be a US administration change and they will get their way. Sure the administration didn’t forecast this problem, but who knew?
Toilets – don’t read during your lunch hour
When we got to the new place, we were told the guys who emptied and clean the chemical toilets got mortared one and were not coming back, so they filled and filled. Finally 1st Sergeant had the engineers build a latrine like you see in the movie, “Platoon” which the waste is removed every so often and burned, except nobody here is passing the time smoking marijuana. Finally, the chemical toilet guys came back and I even took a picture! A lot to get excited about, huh? The biggest fear among some Soldiers, including me, is getting killed while in an outhouse.
