Got the call yesterday, going for my second duty in 6 days. I should be able to post every now and then, my Icelandic wife isn't handling the news well, we weren't together my first time around but lucky for me the people from iceland are a cold and emotionally dead people which is what i think i found attractive about her, she has made me promise her that the night before i go we stay home, she cooks me my favorite meal and we watch her favorite movie which is bounce staring ben affleck and gwyneth paltrow to which i agreed.
Ive got to be honest im a little worried on how ill react when i touch down, little is known here about my first trip. Im still haunted by what took place in fallajah, having to hold my best friend as he died and promise him to tell his family he died in battle when i knew that wasn't the truth, having to kill and live on a donkey for 3 days as the suns hot burn broke me down physically and mentally, i can still feel the sand brush across my face from time to time, do you understand what its like to live like this?, im sure you don't know what that heat and arabs can produce to your sense of smell, its impossible to describe, its the smell of terror and paranoia.
I have a few things i need to get done before i do leave but i should be around as i mentioned before and if i don't make it back i'll be sure to have either the army, my Icelandic wife or other family members contact the board of my passing.
