My Marine Friend

A marine buddy of mine was home from Iraq this past weekend. He gave me his thumb nail sketch of how it was over there. In a nut shell he said that if the politicians and the American people would let them, they could take the whole country and have it under control in a matter of days. But....after we leave no matter what we do, have done or haven't done the country will become a shit hole again. Over all he says the troops are in as good of spirits as can be expected. He cannot wait to re-enlist and get back. Marines tend to be that way. Just a small assessment from someone fighting this war. Take it for what is or not.
