I'm watching American History X on regular dvd because that's all I have here in Iraq. I can't wait to get back to the states so I can have Xbox Live and Netflix.

As a veteran of the Iraq war I can say that war isn't all about killing people. COD4 is nothing like real life. The only people who may even have something close to that experience are soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors in special operations. There are firefights but it's never a one man team going and killing everyone in the area. I went out on hundreds of combat missions and never once shot at anyone but plenty of times I was shot at and blown up. I lost 2 great soldiers, and fathers, in my unit due to real life bombs. There are no respawns in real life.

As for the guy not getting the job he wanted, it may have been unavaliable. I got a GED and scored a 98/100 on the ASVAB and have a GT score of 125/135. They told me I could have any job I wanted but wouldn't give me the one I requested because I dropped out of high school. Any educated person must know that a diploma is a piece of paper, not a general aptitude test. Sure there are idiots in the Army but this guy sure doesen't seem to be one.
