An upvote for your time, then, good stranger.

That's the way I had it. Plain spaghetti with just butter and parm.

From one vet to another, thank you for your service. I feel ya, spent a year and a half in the sandbox, dinged my 23rd there. Since you were there a while after I was, here is my question:

What was your impression of the Iraqi people?

In my experience, most were very nice and hospitable, or really didn't give a crap that we were there, since it didn't really affect their lives. The only ones that occasionally had issues were the ones the military directly affected (i.e. family member was insurgent = house raided). Then again, I think anyone would be pissed if they broke down my door and messed up my house...

Well, with daily practice, you can build up your stamina.
