Husband learned today he goes BACK to Iraq in a year

[Qanisqineq]

I'm pissed off, don't ask me anything. Hehehehe... just thought I'd throw that in. What a wonderful piece of news after being back just shy of 2 weeks.

1. Have him talk to Irate Citizen

Trust me.

[Qanisqineq]

2. what's that?

He's talking about moving to another country or screwing up his already screwed up knee. Not sure how serious he is...

[WilliamPitt]

4. IrateCitizen is a DUer

and a soldier on the vanguard of figuring out the conscientious objector status issue. His whole squad is over there, but he's still here. Your husband should talk to him.

3. He is going in a year or for a year?

[Qanisqineq]

5. Both

he just returned a couple weeks ago. I know, it is a year away and I should be thankful he has that amount of time at home. But I am still pissed

[Dookus]

6. crap

that sucks majorly.

Please take Will's advice and find a way out of this. You and your husband will be in my thoughts.

7. that's assuming

the new "sovereign" Iraqi "government" still wants US troops in "their" country a year from now. I know that's the Bushie plan, but there could be some surprises in store, especially if Kerry wins this November.

8. I'm very sorry, Tolania.

Our service men and women are being jerked around.

9. I'm sorry

I just found out another friend's hubby in the reserves has just gone to Iraq as well and will be there for another year. This war is tearing apart families. :hug:

10. Dude, that sucks

*hugs* to you guys and will hope for big changes between now and then...

[LynneSin]

11. warm hugs and karma from me

He'll be in my prayer. I'm sure myself and many of the DUers here would love to send him and his unit care packages.

:grouphug: -> for him and his entire unit
