Sunday, June 24 at 12:23 AMA common question among those who hear that I’m going to Iraq is ‘Why?’ A lot of Americans consider Iraq already a lost cause, and wonder what might drive me to willingly go there when I could get myself hurt or killed. As I noted in my first post, I’m not here to get into politics, but I think it is a reasonable question that deserves an answer.
The pat answer would be that I’m going because I’ve been told to do so, I’m a soldier, and soldiers obey lawful orders. It would be an accurate answer, too; I have been a soldier my entire adult life, and I am in the habit of going where the Army tells me to go, although this is by far the least pleasant deployment I’ll have in my career to date. But that doesn’t really get to the heart of the matter.
