Chris, I just stumbled on your material and have been reading some old articles. I really enjoy them. I had a very similar experience in Iraq, and then left the military. I never got the Afghanistan experience you describe. I wish I had. Thanks for sharing.

I’d say it would be weird for you to not miss it. We never feel more necessary than we do at war. I miss that feeling too.

Thanks for commenting, and for your service.

Chris,
Just found your site and I really appreciate your candor with regard to your experiences.

The reason I am replying to theabove comment is that I felt (and still feel) the same way. As a 49 yr old retired USAF guy, I went to Afghanistan in 2012 as I had retired (2004) before things got hairy. I always felt that I “owed” Uncle Sam one real deployment…so I went.

Spent 6 months in RC-East in 2012…issued weapons, the whole enchilada. IDF was the extent of my “combat experience”. Traveled around a good bit and there were some times that I questioned what the f$%^ I was doing there…but I miss it. I would go back if I could. Is that weird?

In reply to reserve corporal. You should be able to see the comments section at the bottom of the page when you click the link. Is that section not showing up?

Mac,

I hear you. But sometimes I do want to go back and do it again. 🙂

I won’t, and looking back I sometimes wonder what the hell I was thinking. But I miss it almost enough to go back.
