As some of you may recall, I am an officer in the Naval Reserve. I found out today that I am being mobilized and will deploy to Iraq soon.
Having been around DKos since the beginning (literally, I remember when Kos told us about his nickname Fishyshark) I know that the vast majority of Kossacks oppose the conflict in Iraq. I have mixed feelings about it. I believe with every ounce of my being that the invasion was based on lies and deceit. But.....now that our military is there, I want to do everything in my power to ensure as many of our guys (and gals) come home asap and in one piece.
I won't be deploying for a few months because of training, etc, so I won't be completely of-line, but I may not be around as much as i usually am.
Feel free to pepper me with questions, although I may not have any answers for them :)
