Well I've only been marginally involved in this web community for a few short weeks now, but I've found it to be pretty great. Many of the conversations are intellectually enlightening, civil, and (most importantly) fun.
I've been in army for almost two years now. I'm an infantryman in the 101st airborne. We've been preparing for our impending deployment to Iraq for some time now, and it seems to have snuck up on me. I leave tomorrow morning.
I'm just writing to say you're all (as far as I know) great people and thanks for welcoming me into your community.
I have a website that i'll be updating as often as war permits, so if you'd like to read the (generally) objective viewpoint of someone doing the dirty work over there, check it out. The address is
armedandapathetic.com so drop in and leave me a note whenever I figure out how to include a comments section.
