    Rocket attacks suck

    This is just me venting, I cant tell my wife or family, dont want them to worry. The fighting season is begining and we are now getting rocket attacks every week. The closest one, 50 yards from my office. I go out to the district center (where the court is and where they hand out IDs) twice a week. They have blown up 3 district centers sence Ive been here. Im not crying about it, I know thats what I signed up for, but it does make you think about how precious life is. I guess what Im getting at is this sucks over here. I miss my wife and family. And please keep us military guys in you prayers.

    There are a lot of us who appreciate what our military does, not as many as there should be though. Endless thanks to you and all the others risking life and limb for us.

    Gday Lucky
    Please dont think its just those "In the States" who appreciate what all you guys are doing over there for all of us. We thank you for the safety blanket of freedom we enjoy. Stay safe and try not to stress too much, prayers to you Lucky and all those serving with you, and thanks again from the Land Down Under.

    Be careful and be smart Lucky. We've got to get you home safely so we can all help spend your money while we continue to debate which engine you should use, whether it should be power steering or manual and what color you should paint your car

    Thanks to you and your comrades for your service!

    Hopes for a safe return from Canada. A co-worker survived a suicide bomber last year in Afghanistan by inches. Keep your head down and your eyes open.

    David, just be sure to keep your head down buddy. Hang in there and think of all you have waiting for you when you come back, not to mention all the free beers, or wait don't you owe a few beers as well??

    God speed!!

    Try to keep your spirits up. Every day that goes by brings you 1 day closer to coming home. Thank you for all you have done to keep the world safe and free. you are the type of hero that deserves to be the "Lucky Winner". To the reply above, I know a thing or 2 about free beer and I will make sure you have some from me to you when you get back.

    Thank you for my freedom. Be safe.

    You have no idea Leo. Havent these guys watched 300???? Wheres the honor in setting up IED and blowing up woman and childern? The old Afghan fighters had honor, they showed it against the Russians, but these guys are just bullies and sissys. They say that God is with them, well their God must be a track star to keep up with all the running away they do.

    Please rant away! You certainly don't want to get the family concerned. The forum is a good as place as any to bounce your feelings..

    I can't imagine how frustrating it must be, fighting against an invisible army. One minute they are shaking your hand, and giving you the thumbs up, the next they are aiming a rocket launcher at you. Friggin cowards.

    It would be nice if the same tactics could be used against the taliban. Little make up, dress in the local garb, drive a beater, and catch them red handed where they live. A few attacks done incognito like that, would have them looking over their shoulders before long, not knowing where they are safe. While in Rome do as the Romans do..

    Prayers sent... Thank you for being brave and fighting for the rights of all human beings whether the want them or not..

    They used women and children in Korea and Vietnam as well... I don't have a clue what the fiber is that these people are made of... Certainly not human..
