A Minute Longer

The blog that I read was about a soldier who toured in Iraq and Kuwait back in 2004. His last entry to the blog was in April of 2004 at the end of his most recent tour. Since he has not written to this blog since then, I would assume that he has not been redeployed. His final entry was one of joy and anger at the same time. He seemed very happy to be home, as all soldiers typically are, but he still held a grudge. It was quite evident that he supported the war and believed in what he was fighting for. He literally called out the Iraqis by telling them they control their own fate. He told them that if they wanted the US to leave then they should stop fighting and finally control their government. At that point, they would be able to tell the US to leave, which he said we would gladly do. It is always great to see the perspective of someone who experienced it. He knows more about the war then I would ever know, and he basically said what no one believes. Everyone seems to believe there is no end to the war, but he came out and voiced his opinion on exactly how the war can come to an end.
