Sorry - I didn't see another thread on this subject. I did two searches - although the other one probably is under a different title.

I don't want to crucify the guy, but he has to understand that compared to the pain other guys and families have endured, he is on the low end.

Further, no one like the current situation of being gone for 365+, being home for a few months, and going right back out again.

I must tell you, if a Democrat had done this to our military, the screams of bloody murder would be deafening.

It took me some effort to find it, and I had posted on it.

Your story qualifies as an update, since it has new relevant info not contained in the other story. I was mainly bookmarking while trying to make up my mind as to whether to ping some folks who expressed strong opinion.

My post was not meant as an “Already Posted” zing. I appreaciate the update.

This is the "boat" my son is in. When he comes home in November, he'll be stateside for up to 12 months (no guarantee how long) and then redeploy to Iraq for another 15 months or longer.
