War is fun!Follow
I think my husband is going to leave for Afghanistan during the next week. I had hoped to see him one last time before the deployment, but no such luck.
I think I am developing an ulcer with a side order of alcoholism.
Bring on the alcohol! I'll drink with ya!

Yep, I'd hit it.
I've got a friend who is about to take his second tour in Iraq. The first deployment was almost a year "in-country" and the second one is looking the same. I can't believe that he'll be spending 2 of his 6 years in the Marines like that.
I, like so many others, appreciate your hubby's service.

My next door neighbor finally came back. He was a sweet guy when he left, and he's definitley angrier now. He tells me he keeps having dreams at night of playing golf in the sand with his buddies. He swears he's not going back but he's still enlisted, so I suppose we'll see.
Actually, for me it kinda was. YMMV.

after spending a year in Rwanda as a peace keeper watching as 800,000 people got slaughtered I take offence to the name of this thread!

That's a pretty ineffectual track record you got there, slack-jaw.

When I named this thread, I was being sarcastic.
You probably are as well *shrug*
Oh, and Flea, my husband came back from Iraq saying he would -never- go overseas again, that he would fake suicide or some such thing to get out of it. When he found out three months later he was going again, he didn't even get mad. I was mad, I yelled about it alot, mostly because it was random luck that he was moved to this unit that just happened to be deploying while there were unmarried soldiers around who wanted to go back. He just sorta shrugged about it, went along with it, and began drinking too much.

love to see how well your worthless *** would be in a real theater of war bet you'd be wetting your pants at the first bullet shot in your general direction!
and prey tell how you would have stopped it when half a country starts to kill off the other half with only about 300 total troops available to you half of which are technical or medical crews?
and obviously you don't know jack about what we did manage to accomplish even with so few of us there so take your uninformed less than intelligent comment and shove it up your obviously stretched ******!
Hahahaha!
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Yeah I've spent the last 40 years of my life cosetted in the lap of suburban luxury.
Wrong forum nipple-flick. Wrong forum, and wrong poster.
THE "Peace keepers" seemed to have a comprehensive knowledge of the tea-houses in Kigali, and fu[/i]ck-all clue about upholding the Arusha Accord and standing up to RPF when they were vulnerable.
Fu[i]cking idiot.

What did you expect when the real agencies of peace were operating despite the Canadian led UNAMIR.
We used to call them the manicurists. . . I'll leave you to speculate why.

if it wasn't for the ******* americans keeping the UN from using the word genocide there would have been troops there to keep them apart.
real peace keeping agencies? you sure as **** don't mean the americans who weren't there do you?
since your trying to portray some personal acquaintance with what happened in Rwanda back up your statements with what group you were there with and if you weren't there then stop ************ about who was doing what!
and if your so well informed with how things happened you'll also know that the American ambassadors comments to one faction served as the catilist to going ahead with the assasination and radio transmitions calling for the killings!
the french had ties that made them a bad choice for peace keeping and after the belgians had been killed and they pulled out we were the only group of any consequence in the theater while we waited for the americans to stop raming their thumbs up their asses by dithering on rental costs for equipment african troops like ethiopias joined us to help protect as many people as possible!

Good point, but inadequate. Yes, the stupid bloody yanks turned a blind eye once again. So what's new?!

If (If!) you were with UNAMIR, you shouldn't be wearing that as a badge of pride. None of the agencies who were 'officially' there
did anything other than 'tut tut' under their breath and send bland reports back to Langley or the FCO that omitted certain technicalities like massed machete executions and tactical rape.
Give my regards to Bukekele and Rushebeya. Never could get a decent meal there, but some of us were more interested in preventing slaughter than waving flags and ******** about the lack of soft beds and cold beer.

I was there! not if and unlike what your implying we did save tens of thousands of people we didnt sit around sipping coffee and tea complaining about bedding!
when the french pulled out and left the stadium open to slaughter we did evacuate as many as time could allow and even thogh with all our efforts we couldnt stop the slaughter of so many we sure as hell can wear our time there as a badge of honor we did save people we did try when others chose to ignore the genocide we were there doing something others wouldnt we took what we had and achieved however small the victories might be compared to how screwed up the whole was those still alive at the end that we saved are a reason for pride no matter what some dushbag forum hound has to say!
Touchy aincha! 
If I take a time-out from winding you up for a moment:
I'm assuming that if you were with UNAMIR then the odds are you're a Canuck, a Brit or Indian. We saw Austrians, Spaniards and a few Poles - I know there were others involved, but only in patchy numbers, so I'm guessing one of the former categories.
You were sent in with a weak mandate (another case of the UN undermined by Washington), questionable leadership (were the rumours true about Dallaire's drinking?) and sod-all resources.
You had your hands tied behind your backs and thanks to appalling intelligence, were constantly kept 48 behind the atrocities.
By the time you guys went in to assuage insurgence it was all over (not your fault, granted). If you were one of the poor bastards playing 'match the limb to the infant', then sleep soundly - it wasn't your fault. But if you still have the dreams - alcohol works for me.
Now there were other forces 'allegedly' vanguarding and pre-empting assaults (mostly based on Somali and Ugandan intel - go figure) who came from all sorts of organisations - some private, some 'unacknowledged'.
Suffice to say, no-one can hold their heads up high. There were appalling examples of complacency in UNAMIR and in the mercenary and 'unackinowledged' agencies. There were also examples of courage, compassion, selflessness and heroism. I have no claim on which camp you fall into, nor is it any of my business
But this is the Arsylum!

Dallairs drinking as you put it started after we got screwed over(after it was over and rightfully so most started to drink heavily after) if not for him keeping us volunteers in place there wouldnt have been anyone saved my term was more than half over by the time all hell broke loose and when he recieved the cut down orders he asked us to stay if we wanted to!

not quite acurate there but in most fields intelligence is rarely worth the paper its writen on! we had other sources and were nowhere near as behind as your sugesting!

again same answer we did pre-emptive evacuations when we could and some places were just too remote or done simultaniously so we couldnt help and yes we did do after the fact investigations!

You're fun, but I'm bored with Rwanda now.

What is it good for?
I think you caught your limit on this thread, Nobster. Any further irate responders will have to be caught and released so as to keep the Noobus Gulliblus species from being depleted.
RACK you, heh.
