This page has been viewed 6725 times | | I am currently watching as more and more numbers get piled on to the already large number of soldiers here in Iraq. I still ask myself why I'm in Iraq. Fighting for something that I don't even know about. I wish I could say that I understood why we're here. Maybe oil, maybe something else. Either way, it doesn't justify all the lives that have been carelessly lost here. I can only pray for the families that have lost much of their lives because of this needless war.
I feel sorry for all of the young soldiers here that may not get the chance to do many of the things that a lot of people take for granted. If I could quit the army, I would. I no longer believe that the values which were installed in me when I first joined the army are any longer a lifestyle, not even practiced very often. I do however have a great respect and admiration for my country, which is why I stay and fight for the freedom that hangs so delicately in the new millenium. If we can't still believe that there is some hope for everyone out there, then there is no reason why we should keep on fighting.
