Beor, I wondered - How does an ordinary day look like for you? Like, what time do you usually get up? Do you go on patrols and stuff? How much do you get to talk to the civil population?
I too think about you, stay safe

Well, I got moved to the headquartes platoon, so I dont really do a whole lot of patrols anymore. I do raids sometimes, but not too much. Every week, however, we meet with some of the locals, well, the commander does, and all of us just pull security and talk to the kids. Its cool. I usually get up at 6:30 to go running, and take the day as it goes. Like right now, there is a series of scantily clad women dancing on the bottom right corner of the screen who got there by some unknown means, and its driving me crazy. I cant figure out how to get rid of them.
Thanks to you too, Jonathan

Well, I just wanted to share this, because its kindof crazy.
I woke up last night from this wierd dream that I dont really remember, to the sound of mortars whistling down at our camp. It was wierd, because the mortars seemed more like a dream than the dream did, and I shrugged them off. I woke up this morning, and found out that they were actually hitting near the camp, and everyone was going nuts about them. It was really strange. I dont like getting shot at by mortars in my sleep (or when I'm awake, I'd imaging) Other than that, everything's cool.

Yeah, after that they made us, as if it wasnt already too late. I went on a patrol the next morning, no one seems to know who did it...
But in other news, everything has been going good so far today. No problems yet, so that's good. Thanks for the concern, O High King at Annuminas (Sp?)

Beor - I was just wondering if you heard about the Al Qaeda letter that was found on heading off to Afganistan last month. It was just released now. I was wondering what you thought of it.

I think its funny how he calls all Americans cowards, yet he is the one hiding. He fails to understand that we may be the easiest targets, but we bite back. I'm glad he feels like he is suffocating, hopefully, he will.
Maybe before answering this "call to war" the people will remember what we did to the al'quieda (screw the spelling) in Afghanistan and what we did to ol' Saddam here in Iraq. bring it on, bitch (not you, JD, this crazy arab).

In case you didn't see my edit above - because I think you were posting this as I put in my edit. I just wanted to say good job by the way. Maybe we are finally teaching Al Qaeda - you screw with America, you better be prepared to pay the price. I hope they all get squeezed and sophocated out of existence. The only way to do that is to fight back. We can't just hide and hope that the terrorists will just go away. Stay safe.

Yeah, I felt the fury, this guy is hiding and calling me a coward? Screw him. That is my opinion, and should not be considered the policy of the US government (had to say that to cover my...uh...behind )
Anyway, I am doing my best to stay safe, and I thank you all for your concern. It means alot to the guys that people care and acknowledge that we are doing a good job. It is very appriciated.

Hey, dont know if anyone wants to know, but we have been doing some more raids lately, and we have been finding lots of weapons caches and stuff like that, and apprehending our targets. We are doing a good job, I guess, and things are going good (though I am quite tired, out till two last night, then got woke up at three (this is AM, as in two in the morning on the 23rd) to go do another raid.). Other than the exhaustion though, everything is going good. I cant wait to get out of here. About 57 days now...hopefully.

Thanks for the update... and keep up the good work! It was heartening in a way to see that intercepted document a few posts up... to see that the opposition is feeling strangled. It's also good that it went public... it shows the Iraqi people and the rest of the world how little those opposition fighters care about the Iraqi people - or other Moslems. They're quite willing to kill as many of them as necessary to turn the country against America! To me that makes it apparent that this 'resistance' is likely spear-headed by foreign agitators... rather than Iraqis.
Are most of the 'targets' you apprehend native Iraqis though? I expect the majority of the actual combatants would be... but wonder about the make-up of the leadership...

Yes, most if not all the bad guys that my company apprehends are Iraqi, as far as I know. They are the guys that just take pot-shots at convoys or set up IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) to blow us or their own people to hell. As far as leadership goes, I really couldnt tell you. My job stops at detaining them, after that we send them off to the interrogator and I never see them again (not like I would really want to). We have captured quite a few IED makers, and I can tell the difference. Nothing has exploded lately, which is cool.
By the way, welcome to the Sister Golden Hair for President Campaign. I am Foreign Minister Beor, and I just want to say it is an honor to have you on the team.

Please add me to your list of well-wishers, Beor! I can't imagine what it's like being far away from home having to do a job that isn't always pleasant but is very necessary.
I'm hopeful that you will be coming home soon. Have you made the millitary a career? Like so many others, I have a family member (nephew) in the Reserves (Naval). He will be going to San Diego next month for some intensive training. There has been no word on whether he will be called up at any time soon, but he is very proud to be able to serve. Take care of yourself. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Here's a picture I thought you'd all get a kick out of. Special thanks to JD for giving me a place to hang it, rather than having to cut it down to 10,000 bytes.
