Well, for starters, I've been in the army for over 2 years now. I'm married to another soldier who is currently deployed to Iraq. I joined the military with every intention of fighting the good fight and being "army strong". That all changed...My MOS is 68X, mental health specialist. I've seen a lot of soldiers come back from this war scarred in ways that cannot be fixed. I've heard the horror stories and even seen the pictures. I started learning about stop loss/stop move...the army's "back door draft". I've seen families torn apart and relationships deteriorate. I realized that the army I joined was not the one I knew and I feel that I have this war to blame for that. I started doing my research and found out some really disturbing things that are happening in our country and it needs to change. |
