Remember
One of the most touching milblog entries I have read up to date is one of remembrance. I think it is important to remember something like the 9/11 attack, but I do not believe we should dwell on it. One soldier expresses that remembering the 9/11 attack is what fuels him to continue fighting. Is this really a good thing? I’m not so sure it is. I personally think we should be out of Iraq. To hear how a soldier wants to go back and fight is mind boggling. Maybe there is something more that I haven’t thought. It’s hard to get into the skin of a soldier, but these milblogs have helped me get a glimpse of their perspective. In time, I will understand more why exactly the soldiers want to fight.

I agree that it is important to remember and not to dwell in such memories. It is also important to understand that a lot of young men enlisted after 9/11, with the purpose of defending our country. It is difficult to tell a soldier to call it a day and quit fighting when his brothers are still overseas, even when their tour is up. The milblogs do give us a wonderful window to their world that we might not ever get to see. I hope that they all may return home safely soon. Nice post!
