Yes, it’s so good to see my tax money going to such worthwhile things. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to have them do these things at home if they don’t have a war to fight?
Pfc. Adrian Vesik heard that war could be hell.
He was happy to discover when he arrived in Iraq earlier this year that his war experience also would include salsa dancing, yoga and martial-arts classes.
“When I signed up for the Army, I thought I was going to be a hero — go out and do some fighting,” says Vesik, 19, during a break at a Filipino-Okinawan jujitsu class. “I haven’t come close to doing anything that I was trained to do. I work, maybe, four to five hours a day. I have time to try all these new things. It’s not so bad.”
Because of new rules that require Iraqi approval for all U.S. missions, and a general decline in violence nationwide, many of the 117,000 U.S. troops stationed in Iraq say they now have more idle time than at any previous point in the six-year war.
I think the fact there is little going on in Iraq is a great thing.
Afghanistan is a hopeless sinkhole.
#20 Is twice as unbecoming to put down those who volunteered and have a different opinion from yours.
pedro,
I suppose our little Venezuelan coward volunteered for the US Army. You know nothing yet you are ready to condemn.
You are worse than a coward.
#23 Tell us, are you like the south park bus driver, with bird on the head and all? Just wondering. That’d explain a lot

I’m at Balad, and I still work 12/7. This jackass got a cushy assignment and he’s bitching. Fuck him.
