Didn't see this thread earlier =/. My best friend has been serving since the begining of the Iraqi war.My father served 3 years with the Army, although it was in beetween wars. My uncle served 6 years in Vietnam and saw just about everything you wouldn't want to think about. My cousin left his home in Italy to visit his wife and kid in Bosnia, he arrived to a war torn village to find his 3 year old hung and his wife shot 3 times in the face and raped. He's been fighting since 1994 and is still fighting, he refuses to stop untill all the death camps are gone or he gets killed. He's been shot 14 times in a period of 11 years. My father served his country because there was nothing else for him. My uncle server the people next to him because that was all that mattered, same goes for my friend. My cousin is doing it for himself and the people he lost, and I doubt i'll see him again. I've considered joining up, but right now im too young, and in my honest opinion I don't think any war is right, and the only way this war is, is if you've lost somebody. A video my cousin sent me, to send to someone who could help, as he put it, made me litteraly sick. I never sent it as I thought I would be arrested because of the gruesome content.
