Realizing it was my last chance to serve my country, I joined the Army in 2003. I served in Iraq and Washington D.C. in 2004 and 2005 as a Sergeant and am currently a second lieutenant in the US Army reserves. I observe OPSEC. My news stories focus on the positive since negative news about the war and the military is easy to find. They mostly come from www.centcom.mil, a government agency that won't lose any money for me posting them. In fact, they welcome it.
