Back in mid-September, I diaried about visiting with my son before he left for Iraq. His daughter turned 8 months old yesterday. Today her Daddy arrived home, safe and sound.
Physically, AFAIK, he is fine. Psychologically, he’s probably okay as well. He is pretty solid and he knows how to let bullshit slide by. For 6 months, he and unit have been under the never-ending blare of FUX Propaganda posing as news from the outside world. Not to mention 12 hour shifts, 6 days and one day off. And you can’t really prevent rubbing shoulders with the gung-ho types. You just try to avoid them as best you can.
My apologies, I am an HTML dumbfuck, so this is a C&P of my diary at dkos.
I just wanted to update y’all.
