S&M? Hmmmm, how do you know about S&M... Wait!, forget I asked that. It was me hormones kicking in..

I addressed that on the S & M thread.

Warning Will Robinson...

Potential hijacking material...

I'd settle for being kidnap material.

Sorry...You never sent that flower. I had to beg for one

Gotta go guys. Have a great night!

I'll drop ship a crate of flowers on your house. Just send the address.

Life isn't without risk.

I think if you read the history of these regions, though, you'll realize that, no matter what you do, things WILL NOT change. So what's worth dying in vain?

James Michener's "Caravans" is a good historical fiction of Afghanistan. It doesn't matter who invades, they all eventually leave with their tail between their legs. The warlords rule, and the people suffer. This just is...and, unless we turn the region into radioactive glass, how it will always be.

Not going into Iraq. That can of Babylonian worms I'll leave alone...

I was offered £12k a week to do a specific job in Iraq for as long as i wanted but i wouldn't be able to work with Dude without shooting him the first time he mentioned Bushney's.

Mind you the job i would be doing they wouldn't expect me to do anything else really.I wreckon they would have had a sweepstake to see how long it would be before i shot him

Yes, Afghanistan has a long history of this, Russia being the latest chapter.

This I hope turns out different and if it doesn't, maybe some good will come from those trying to help the people there. It seems to be getting worse right now with the Taliban increasing their attacks and blowing up bridges, electrical plants, etc... I guess we'll find out. The only thing I know for sure is that if we do nothing there will be no chance of change.

Damn, that (change) comment belongs on an Obama thread.

yeah no shit!!

Detroit has lost nearly 1 MILLION people since 1950!!

yeah.. sure.. ..considering my MOS in the US Army was 12B.. that's Combat Engineer.. wanna go toe to toe on "crap in the soil" left over from bombs and "whatnot"?

...why not just keep ignorant statements to yourself instead of inviting someone like me that knows what he's talking about to expose that you're wrong wrong wrong.

yeah.. I wouldn't EAT off an area that had been blasted.. but you're making it sound like they're using nuclear weapons over there.

NO....

No way I'd do it, but that's just me, I couldn't be away from my family. But you military guys are used to that. You should really do what you feel is most fulfilling to you.

And be safe whatever.

I believe that if you feel compelled to go there, for whatever reasons, you should...maybe that is where you are meant to be...I would, however, think it over very carefully and make sure you go for the right reasons, if that is your decision Good luck on making your choice!

hey brother,
depends on what your mos ( job) is. i have been there 5 years, lost friends even in the safest jobs from indirect fire, car bombs, ieds, and plain shit luck.

john

give me a f*cking break. What do you think they are doing over there? Kicking sand in each other's faces, hoping that the other one cries and goes home to mommy. Don't bullshit me with your condescending tone of ignorance. What are bombs made of? Where does the debris go when they are detonated? How many bombs have been detonated? What other form of warfare is used over there? You don't know, so don't pretend that you do. Combat Engineer? You must have all the f*cking secrets then. Good for you.

exactly what I learned about this week

what skill level?

Level 3, but I stayed away from the vehicles.. I didn't like that stuff so I turned it down every time it was offered. I was qualified for the AVLB, but at the time those were used more by the 12Cs...
