So here it is most of our shit is packed all we have to do is grab our clothes and personal gear we use and leave. Tracks are prepped family notified 3 weeks left, right , wrong. We have been extended indefinitely. What the fuck does that mean. Everyone else in our task force is going south , hence home , what are we doing ? Going north to secure some bullshit town I can't name or find on a map. The shit just got real deep real fucking fast. If you want to know how I felt when our Ltc. told go find a little kid who is playing with a puppy. now bash the puppies head in with a brick and that look on the kids face right before it starts to scream and cry is how I feel. Of all bullshit things to happen I don't think I can go indefinitely or till a date to remain undetermined with out some form of alcohol I'm starting to get the shakes again. I dream about dancing bottles of rum and tequilla. This sucks major donkey nuts.

Man! I am so, so sorry for you! There is little I, or most other people can say as few of us have ever been in a situation like that.

Something you said earlier made me think a bit (even though you were joking):

hate the army and what it stands for
Whatever I feel about the fundamental wrong that was the war on Iraq, the last people I blame are the armies. You guys are the ones who risk your lives, face the day-to-day nasty shit that would probably make most people's head explode. There is great potential for the armed forces to do good in this world and that includes in Iraq. But.... for you now being told you are staying out there just reeks.

Take it easy pal and look after yourself!
