030708 Good running day...

Today I went for a quick run. This was the first 'warm' day of the year and it was really nice.
Below is a link to a site where some soldiers throw a puppy off a cliff. Yes, what the soldiers did was wrong and hopefully he'll be prosecuted.

Recently in some conversations I've found myself defending soldiers, the military, recruiters and it seems indirectly, I'm defending me. I work for the Army here in Iraq and there are some great men and women in the military. And (as in any organization) there are also some bad apples. Soldiers and Airmen over here are doing the job they've trained and are paid to do. I'm very much in the same boat. What I put in this blog certainly is not representative of everything that happens in Iraq. It is simply a little information from my limited experience and perspective in Iraq. In short, it's a job, that's also an adventure.
