    CAN YOU JUST SEND ME BACK TO WAR?

     

    I was really hoping for CNN to keep them honest after my Ireports but I guess there is to many to keep track, its ok though. I really don't know what to do any more so I am asking the President of the United States to send me back to fight. My little brother goes back for a second tour in Oct. He will need me. I joined the army in 1990 then packed my brother a few months later to go to Saudi Arabia not knowing that I would be right behind him in Jan of the following year. My AIT was cut short and only after a week at my permanent duty station a hand full of us was called to fight for this country. I was in the scud that hit our complex and I was injured along with 27 others. In that hit 100 lost their lives. I pulled several hurt soldiers from the burning building with live rounds going off while hurt. I was recommended for a Purple Heart and a Soldiers Medal but never received either. The hand full of us that was over there came back in May and b/c we were only a hand full we were never debriefed or evaluated, even though we went through the hit on our compound. Keep your hand outs, if thats what you think I want, just send me back b/c I would rather die in order for my daughter to be ok in life than to struggle like me or to see me go through what I am going through now. Please thank a vet and I hope at least one person dosent forget the vets coming home and the ones that are already back, they are fighting for us weather we like it or not.                            Thank you TFV
