Of all the OEF/OIF vets here, who wishes they could go back overseas?

I don't think a day has gone by where I have that wish in my mind

History teaches us that Alexander didn't conquer Afghanistan, he married into it, and ergo became a kinsman. I can't say that would work with us, but it has got to be a better way than how we are doing it now. So no, I don't want to go back, not the way we are doing it.

Everyday!

say when

I'd do it in a heartbeat to still protect this country

I am torn between home life and mission with a purpose. I am concerned about our country becoming the second war zone. It looks like we are at the beginnings of another world war. I hate seeing our hard work wiped away and hope we change that real soon.

I am way overweight and have mobility limitations effecting my that would put me in a substandard category. I would not bring honor to the uniform or physical standards.

I do

I do! and I would in a heartbeat if I was able to.

Certain things were easier over there, but not on your life. In fact, had I not already made the commitment, I wouldn't have gone at all. In many ways, I lost my innocence over there. I learned that war is a racket.

Yeah, there are days. It boils down to belonging, even if the mission isn't accomplished. There really isn't the same loyalty anywhere else, except being deployed on a ship supporting the mission.
