My friend is home on 2 weeks R&R form Iraq.:)

He’s in the Intel. Doing interrogations in Northern Iraq.
I will entertain questions you might like for me to ask him and post the answers next week.

Didn't think that was a concern of the modern army these days as they take their own girls with them. :-)

Yeah, I've got some.

Is the emphasis on finding WMD? Do they interrogate on that subject at all? Or is it all focused on neutralizing the resistance now?

What does he think is the opinion of the "common Iraqi"? Is the overall environment hostile in the general population? Or do folks smile at our troops, that sort of thing?

After he watches a few days of our mainstream media news on Iraq, ask him if he thinks we're getting an accurate picture.

Lastly, please convey my personal thanks for his service to the nation. Politics be damned, he's serving; I salute him for his dedication, sacrifice and willingness to stand between his nation and those that would do it harm.

I do believe that sums it up in a nutshell for all of us.

I give you all a for putting the differences aside when it needs it. Thank you.:aok

A little background, about the sacrifice he and others are making for us. As you may know.

I’m sure this can be said about many that are there.

not to mention the risk of life.

He was pulled out of his last year of Law School, will have to repeat some or all to graduate and pass The Bar.

Secondly he left his wife and 4-year-old daughter behind. Has not seen them since March.

I don't know if I could have done it.?

Toad said it all. I am also interested in the same questions if he is at liberty to say.
