Staying the Course - Support these Soldiers who Choose to Fight Back

[dutchdemocrat]

Give the lads some support. A comment at their blog here would be great. DU was a large part in giving these guys the strength to keep going as last time I posted the links to the Italian Documentary on Fallujah and the role these guys played... and the risks they are taking in speaking out - members of this community dug in and let them know what they are doing is okay - and there are people out here who support them for their decision to be critical of their experiences in war.

Staying the Course

After some discussion and recent events the authors of this site have decided to continue posting on the Fight to Survive blog. It has gained in popularity after Heckle chose to expose his identity. And, now more than ever there is a need for veterans who fought to express themselves.



I view America differently after I survived through war in Iraq and my life may forever be defined by that one year. It is kind of like seeing a home movie and realizing how foolish you act or sound. Also I no longer take for granted some of the things I viewed as minor, and minimize things I thought were a big deal. These key perceptions might be intriguing and useful to many readers. In the end it seems that writing is still therapeutic for my stress and anger management issues.

So, there are many reasons to continue the blog. However I thought changing the description and adding this explanation was in order. I haven’t much looked at the site in a long time since our tour of duty was complete and it appears there are a lot of new comments. I hope that I have time to answer most of them and look into other links that have been left, excluding the spasm and adds.
