Iraq

My brother lost his job because the company where worked for shut down. He had a big problem to get another job so he tried to enlist in the army. Well this happened before the war in Iraq broke out. When the us declared was he was in basic training so when he came back from basic training he was at home for two weeks and then he got the call to go to Iraq for a whole year. It was really hard for us to accept it but he left and thank to god he came back alive and kicking. But then after some time of rest he was called again to Iraq for another year. this was even worst because they told him that he could change his MOS(Military Occupation Specialty) but they didn’t so he had to go again this time he had to come back early because of a family emergency. During his leave the person that took his job was killed in the same tank that he drove doing the same thing that he did. This to him was very devastating because it was his friend and could have been him. Well when he finally came back he had problems because he said that he use to see the guy that died and couldn’t sleep. From war past we can already know that this is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) now he is going to get help as many of the soldiers that come back from there. He is getting better.
