RLSH700

My cousin is deployed in Iraq currently and many other friends who are serving. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet; however, I had the chance to talk to all kinds of people who served over there this summer as I was working at a particular military base as a civilian employee. It was an honor to work around with our troops. What was an added bonus was the fact that they were the most polite, friendly, and repectful people I have ever worked with before in my life. I even got to talk to people who worked previously at places such as Abu Graib. Very interesting to compare what you hear in the news in comparison to what really happens. Our troops are severely underpaid and underappreciated. People who constantly bad mouth our troops' efforts and call them names do that out of ignorance. They are the cream of the crop from our country.
