What is life like in the trenches of the war in Iraq?

Answer 1

I just finished serving my third tour in Iraq and my first tour in afganstan with the marines and to tell you the truth i love killing those little bastards

Soldiers lifes are in danger everyday from ( IEDS, RPG's, and heavy machine gun ambushes). We depend on Marine cobras and A-10's for air support and M1A2 tanks for combat support. Also the FA/18 super hornet that is flown by marine pilots. Thank god. The FA/18 carries 500 pund JDAM bombs that destroy anything and AG missiles too hit ground targets also, a 30mm machine gun to kill insurgents on strafing runs. Our navy a branch of the Marines or marines a branch of the navy. Is critical for firing tomahawk cruise missles at insurgent positions. But life as an infantry man is very difficult. Alot of ied's and rpg's kill our troops. On the other hand being a soldier is great benefits, maturity, money, and traveling, and of course killing those towelheads.

Answer 2

Unlike the wars prior to World War 2, there are no "trenches" in Iraq. The war in Iraq is being fought on city streets with real, live civilians in the line of fire. If your question is "What is life like for combat soldiers in Iraq?" then there is no cut and dried answer. It is scary, it is confusing, it is dangerous. There is not enough space to give a good description of what American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines feel as we go out every day to face an uncertain enemy who refuses to make himself known through the use of uniforms and national symbols.

Corporal Jason Washburn did three tours in Iraq including the invasion. Over the course of his service, Washburn was stationed in some of the most dangerous areas of Iraq: Najaf, Sadr City, and Anbar Province. A squad in his unit was responsible for the massacre of 26 civilians in Haditha in November 2005. Washburn told the gathering his commanders encouraged lawless behavior. "We were encouraged to bring 'drop weapons' or shovels, in case we accidentally shot a civilian, we could drop the weapon on the body and pretend they were an insurgent," he said. "By the third tour, if they were carrying a shovel or bag, we could shoot them. So we carried these tools and weapons in our vehicles, so we could toss them on civilians when we shot them. This was commonly encouraged."
