will you please stop using that racist term. It tells the world your upbringing must have sucked.

Hatred will only cloud your judgment. I let hatred cloud my judgment so much I joined the Army to kill "ragheads". I picked the most destructive combat job I could, 19 Kilo, an M1A1 Abrams Crew Man. I left my cozy $60K+ a year Project Management job at age 28 to serve my country in the most lethal tank in the world.

I served two combat tours in Iraq, OIF1 and OIF3. I spent a total of 27 months in combat. I earned 3 Army Commendation Medals during combat operations. I have seen far more brutality, destruction and death then you will ever witness in your life. However, I have not let it fill me up with hatred, if anything it opened my eyes.

I will say that after seeing life through Arabs lives, had I been born one, I would want to kill Americans too. We are just as much a part of the problem as they are, if anything we are the problem.
