Thrid time Around

“Third time around” video really got me thinking about the war. I truly have mixed feeling on the subject in the first place and then watching this video makes me even angrier. The war in Iraq is good for America because it shows American that we can stand up for our right and our freedoms, but sometimes I believe that we entered into the war to early and over stayed our welcome. Americans shouldn’t be allowed to bully who ever they want. I finally turned 18 and am starting to pay a little more attention and try to understand what our nation is doing. But sometimes I still get very confused and don’t understand why we do the things we do. I also feel that the soldier’s don’t get enough recognition they put their lives on the line every day. The war is horrible because it takes the lives of American every day.
These men and women who fight our angles they do more work and have to stand in hot weather and walk through sand storms. They also have to be walking around watching their back everywhere they go. These men and women through so much with maybe watching there best friend die or even have to be away from their families for many months at a time this all affect a soldier. They video showed how a soldier lost his life overseas and how one had a baby right before he left and wondered if he would even know who he was by the time he got back or would he even get back. These thoughts that these men and women deal with hit very close to home. I know to very close friends who have been overseas for some time now and I do get to talk to them every once in a while but as much as I would like to. And it hurt not knowing if they will make it home. This video is hard to watch at some points because I to have those same thoughts. But I am glad for the soldier and hope them to all to come home safe and soon..
