Iraq is very missunderstood it really is not a bad place, like every place it ha good people and bad, most of them just want what we all want a normal safe life not a war torn one. These people live as normal a life as they can here in iraq, and for that they have my respect yes a us soldiers respect, i see these people every day se their culture day in and day out not just on the news. So think what u want about this country but im telling you its not as bad as many of ou think.
