Alan Espinal

I don't know why I never heard about this group before. I never paid attention to politics in the past. I was deployed to Iraq in 2004 with 1ID thinking I was going to look for WMDs. I never expected the US government to invade another country under false pretense. That's something Nazi Germany, or communist Russia does, but not us right? My contract expired a few months after my tour and I got out. I never thought this wars would last this long, but after years of seeing the casualty numbers rise I reenlisted in the Reserve to go to A-tan. I felt like I had turned my back and let other people deal with it.
