I was in Iraq just under a year but part of me never came home. I am different now. I can't quite put my finger on it but I changed.
I check the casualty list every day. I have friends over there now, some who want to be there, some who hate it there (for more than just the geography) and/or hate being away from family, and some who are torn between wanting to be home with family and wanting to stay there.
I respect my friends that want to stay in -- hey, if it works for them that's great, I hope they can stay happy. I hope they never have to deal with the medical side of the military.
Here's the page I look at. I wear a black bracelet for one who is listed.

Forgot to mention: the reason I like this page is the search function at the bottom and the statistical information the website provides.
Don't miss the link to Afghanistan casualties as well
