Yeah, I don't think this thread belongs here simply based on my experiences overseas.
Neither politics nor holidays exist in the desolate lands where your work ensemble consists of 35 pounds of body armor and an automatic rifle.
I am sorry that others have to go through what I did... those two times I saw December 25th come and go while carrying a rifle in a foreign land.
A small part of me still feels like laughing at those who will go through their entire life and never really understand the duality of the military.
A bizarre cross of doing time in prison and being a modern knight.
