You got that right man, this place is WAY Effin plush by comparison. The mortars are not as bad as they used to be and the accuracy dropped DRAMATICALLY.

It's nice to see that the place that I helped open in 2003 is such a playground. It wasn't always that way. In 03 at first we had no power, little AF and packs of wild dogs were everywhere. There was also a big hole in the runway, courtesy of Bush SR.. The only fixed wing aircraft that flew in/out of there were C-130's and Intel planes. Mortars started dropping there on July 1st 2003 and as I see they haven't stopped.

Former flyboy here...been to Balad, Kirkuk, and Baghdad and now I hang out happily with former Marines, Army, Navy, and AF. I also don't see why there's so much hate. We don't hate our relatives who have never been to Iraq, inside or outside the wire. If you're going to be a hater, then join the insurgency. I'm embarrassed for any who partake in such childish debates. Maybe that's why many civilians view the military as a bunch of stupid grunts...please stop spreading that belief.
