Would you volunteer to go to Iraq? In combat or supporting role?

Put me in, Coach!!

I did so to get out of the TRADOC assignment I had at the time.

As a brother in the Fraternal Order of the Yellow Footprints, I would go if fighting alongside my fellow brothers and sisters.

Sure. Can I take Jim Gant with me?

I would go back

I did 2 trips doing donuts off the southern Iraqi Coast, Desert Storm and Desert Strike. I'll pass I'm Good. Been there done that wasn't that entertaining either time.

I would pretty much would let it burn. When I was younger I thought we could effect change in a society if we persevered but I was wrong. The core of the issue is that Iraq faces something that we can't comprehend. We will never be able to stabilize that area without militarizing it, as we did in WWII. For this I would not volunteer to go back. I would go if I was ordered and perform my duties to the utmost of my abilities but I have seen too much sacrifice be discarded by those who were unappreciative. I am blaming the resolve, or the lack there of, of the people of Iraq and their government. They would be better served if they called upon their own to fight and raise up an Army of patriots before a foreign force or an Army of religious zealots decides their future.

The Kurds, who are very patriotic, stood up to a much larger force when they sought Independence from Saddam. They lost over 300,000 of their own and endured chemical attacks on civilians. With all the peril and adversity they faced they stood there and courageously defended their land. The peshmerga are far greater men than the Iraqi army has. This is why they are the only stable area in Iraq.

With bells on!

I would volunteer to go back to Iraq as a soldier (or security contractor).

I was disappointed in our large scale withdrawal and was not surprised to see current events unfold.

The job may not be ours, but our actions partially led to what is currently happening thus we are partially responsible.

Then again, I also disagree with pushing democracy or any form of government onto a people whose culture does not support the system. We could have done better in that regard.

Absolutely! I have already talked to my daughter and dad about it. I told my estranged wife that if they send troops to Iraq, I want to go as a combat correspondent.

If my wife and I work out our marriage before, then I will think twice about it. I am working toward a degree in journalism with minors in Middle Eastern studies and international politics, so this would be in line with what I am studying.

I do not wish for war and pray a solution to the escalating violence is found, but if we end up going, I want to go.
