Ok, There are alot of questions here...So I can only really answer a few each time I am on. That said, I will try and give you quality answers, as opposed to a huge qauntity of answers. If I avoid certain questions, please dont be offended, I would love to answer them, but there are just some things I cant talk about...(Exact numbers of troops, equipment specs, so on)

Q. Are there a good number of servicemen over there who off-the-record feel the war is misguided or should be rethought?-Skysaw
A. We all have our ideas and opinions. I can truthfully say there are alot of soldiers who think this war is misguided...I can also say that alot of soldiers feel we are making a great difference here.

Q. How often do you meet Iraqis who show appreciation for what you have done or are doing?-Universal Mind
A. I think most Iraqis are indifferent to us. The exception is the kurdish parts of Iraq. The Kurds love us and we have an almost celebrity status there. Students from the university talk to us (They study alot of english), and we are able to walk around thier area of Iraq without worrying about someone trying to kill us.

Q. Do you always agree with the orders you are given?-NeAvO
A. Nope. Not by any stretch at all. I really see 2 kinds of orders. Orders are either someone telling me what to do, or a policy someone with alot of rank creates telling everyone what to do. Much of the time the policies are stupid, and you find out about them when you violate them...as that kind of information is put out poorly, and quickly.

Q. Do I fight for my beliefs, or because someone told me to fight?-NeAvO
A. I fight for the people I serve with. I fight in self-defense, or the defense of the people I am with.

Q.Is there anything fun to do out there?-Neavo
A.This place is pretty boring. Before my platoon was disbanded our hobby was to drive around and hit every dangerous area we could find. Other than that I have been trying to attain lucidity, find rules to break, read, talk with family, Listen to music and now I check the forums here.

Q.Does the army over there feel it's as pointless as many civilians back home think?-Mes Tarrant
A. This Goes alot with my first Question of this post really...As A National Guard Soldier, most of us just want to get this over with and go home.

Anyways, that is it for tonight, I have to go, as it is getting late, and wakeup could be anytime tomarrow...Its been fun, and everyone do take care.
