As the years go on I see myself more and more forever intertwined with the military and may end up staying in. Perhaps its how I grew up in which I never possessed any sense of belonging and now do. But indeed, that sense of belonging is purchased with days of excruciating boredom, degradation, and intellectual stagnation. I find myself wishing for conflict or war just to give meaning to my existence.

I do not regret my service, but sometimes ponder if the best years of my youth could of been used for something else. Something that could of been enjoyed with the freedom of a man not under the authority of a brutal and troublesome organization.

Had a brother at Basra
Fighting off Al Qaeda

He had a girl he loved in Tucson
I got a picture of him in her arms now
