Welcome Home, Trooper

The major made it clear during an out processing brief that it would behoove us to keep all treatment grievances hush if we wanted to leave so we checked all the boxes submitting that, submitting that we were fine because it we admitted to a problem we would be at risk to be left behind and after a year of this hell you’d be practically insane to not check whatever box they told you to as long as it got you on that plane. So I’m back home now and my past is finally catching up to me. I’ve got three years left on my contract and the better half of me wants nothing to do with me but we deploy again in another three months we’ll be back on that plane. I already got my bags packed I must indeed be insane so why is it that I’m just itching to get back? I guess I feel right at home. I guess I feel right at home in Iraq why do I feel that is home? Do do do do do do do do da do do do shoot me in the face, somebody stab me or slit my throat or dump my body in a river somewhere with a bunch of rocks in my pockets so I can sink to the bottom and be eaten by the fishies. Oh, life is so difficult to live in these days so I sit around and I think of ways to die that makes it okay like bathing with electrical appliances plugged in of course and don’t forget about running infant of trucks on the highway.
