Hello. This being my first log, I wanted to raise a flag of my own. I just want to know how those of us in the service feel about the state of the nation and the state of things overseas. I've been deployed before and during the war, but I can't believe it's carried on this LONG! Soldiers are sent for full-year tours, the elections in Iraq (and in the US, for that matter) don't look promising, and the rich fatten their wallets and stomachs while the poor get sent to the warzone. Where do you see this country in the next ten years? How about just five?
My predictions:
We're going to war with Iran, Israel will continue their Holocaust against the Palestinian people, and we plummet into another great depression. I hope I'm wrong about all of these things, but there's danger in the air, and we need to talk about our future.
