    Talking Coming home from Iraq to the party of a lifetime

    Well when the summer tour was going to happen I was stoked. Then I got extended to stay in Baghdad another 3 months. I was so pissed I was going to miss the tour. Then it was pushed back. That's some luck for me. I just got my Seattle tickets through a private vendor. They were not cheap but I have two good seats. This is a dream come true and a perfect end to the worst 15 months of my life. This will be a night to remember. Thank you Roth Army for keeping me up to date while I serve over here.



    Thank you from the 3rd Stryker Brigade

    Welcome back if you are home!!! I feel for you. My nephew was sent to Iraq back in January and came home for a two week stay in June. His tour of duty is supposed to end sometime in April of '08. That's unless they tell him he has to stay for a second tour of duty. Are things getting any better over there? Anyway, welcome back Stryker and enjoy the Halen show in the Pacific Northwest.

    No, Stryker75, thank YOU for serving your country with honor. All politics aside, y'all are some brave mofo's and you have my utmost respect.

    When are you coming home? And that's pretty cool that you are posting from Iraq.

    Congratulations! Glad your out of that shithole in the desert. I left there almost 2 years ago myself. I'd give you a beer, but my fiancee would beat the shit out of me. Oh well, that's the price you pay for poon-tang.

    Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

    Congratulations on your ticket score and thank you for your sevice in the name of this great country.
    If you are willing I would like to hear your opinion of the justness or unjustness of us being over there.
    Your opinion means more to me than any other persons because you are there.
