1. A veteran of multiple tours in war zones, home from Iraq
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 08:36 AM by teryang
...met a close friend of mine by chance at a firing range last weekend. My friend inquired respectfully how things were going in Iraq, seeking to take advantage of a primary source. This gray haired veteran who had done Vietnam, Iraq I and also had combat experience in latin America, said it was the worst combat environment he had ever experienced. He was working in the medical field in Iraq, in a change from his prior combat MOS. Even as a medical provider he was subject to unexpected shootings, had to carry a rifle, in addition to assisting at surgeries for people shot and blown apart on a daily basis.
