Guess who's back?

1st Lt. Erik Wilson, one of my best friends, is back from Iraq for two weeks. It's been over a year since I saw him last, and it was great to see him again. Only 3 more months until he's home (hopefully) for good.

When I asked him what exactly he does, his response was, "I'm the poor SOB that goes out looking for bombs." Damn!

He has some crazy stories about Iraq, which he refers to as "a funny little country". Apparently, women are only used for breeding purposes, and men and boys are used for sexual pleasure. Erik said that a lot of times they'd be patroling in the desert, and there would be a truck parked on the side of the road, and two Iraqi men would be standing outside smoking hash and having butt-sex. It's actually a pretty common occurrence over there.

There are lots of other strange stories, too. Basically, it's a funny little country.

Take care buddy, and hurry home.
