It is a something that hits some days and I really miss it. Others I don't think about it.

Same here. I was actually just thinking about it last night. I came across pictures on my computer.

As I get older, I accept my role as a father and citizen here. I think I will always be filled with a sense of adventure which led me to military service in the first place. As others stated, it is simpler over seas, the camaraderie is far better, and it seem like our purpose was clean cut. Civilian life is more chaotic, but I get to raise my son and see him grow into a man. I get to develop lifelong relationships and become a pillar to my community too. I guess its like anything else, you have to find a way to make lemonade out of lemons. Life like the military is what you make it, but for service members, we are that special breed that put it all on the line and I think that sense of brotherhood will always exist.

I believe that 99.9% of deployed soldiers want to go back. If you were to check into all these civilian contractors going overseas, you will notice that they are almost entirely manned by veterans that deployed to OIF/OEF.

Would go back for sure without second thought, but not as a contractor.

When I remember the good we were doing over there, helping people, giving them a say in their government and I see the evil taking place now, yes, I want to go back. But not because I want to fight, I will if that is necessary, but because there is something left unfinished. The mission became something it was not supposed to become.
