I HAVE
I've been....
Mad, scared, excited, happy, sad.
Absent for Christmas twice, new years twice, and my first and second anniversary.
Inside a prison with many detainees, in prison riots incited by a shortage of tea and cigarettes, in the midst of a religious war.
In rocket attacks, mortar attacks, taken cover from sniper fire, and small arms fire.
My partner (a german shepherd named Cici) and I have walked down roads in daylight and darkness sweeping for explosives and found explosives.
Away from my beautiful wife, family, and country for almost 500 days.
I've been! ....
And would do it all over again if it means that I'd help stop terrorist from breaching our bases, attacking our troops, and our families.
I am not alone, just one voice out of thousands of US military members who feel and have felt the same way.
We all have... experienced war.
