So im in class all over again. training on counter insurgency, Iraqi security forces training, arabic. I spend about 2-3 hours a day on the language and I am determined to get this one down. its ALOT easier then cantonese so i figure i got a chance at getting good. (plus the arabic women are hot so thats also additional motivation).
I am working out like it going out of style, and the diet is in effect. no much else to do. just sick of training and moving around every couple days. there are some major shifts going on and location/mission/IA (Iraqi Army)/etc might have some serious changes. the election might effect the mission some but we'll see....
had a long talk with an iraqi dude tonite (we practically live on top of them) about religion sects of islam and extremists. I didnt think it would but with all the shadiness going around here, its hard to let yourself trust anyone, bc you never know. I mean we have killled all the stupid ones, so the ones left are smart. its kinda hard to not to hold a prejuduce against the entire country for a few crazys, but when you add poverty, religion persuasion, government coruption, tribal loyality, extremely violent history, and a million other factors, you just dont know who will be a peaceful farmer one day and an IED planter the next. that is just a taste of the unclassified things i can share... so lets just say that is just a potato slice in my bowl of tasty yellow curry.... damn im deep.

I wish it were a simpler war to fight... though when is war really ever a simple thing?
I'm stoked to hear about your linguistic progress in the ancient languages, bro! And your dietary and workout regimens are my new inspiration to lay off the drink and get my ass in shape for our 30th Bdays! How suck would that be for you to get back here looking the best you've ever looked, and me looking like a fat, suburbanite dad? yessir, I'm on board to get myself to a new plateau of physical fitness along with you, except in a different dessert. =)
