If Hillary gets elected, I would go if it was me. Sticking around here as a vet would piss me off I think. It's pissing off my dad but he's too old to go over there now.

Awww do you buy 5.11 pants, a hat with a flag and grow a beard ? Freaking contractors.

I believe him. I think when he was doing most of his work it was during the height of the Iraq war. There were thousands of security contractors over there and the work they were doing was in no way some kind of classified double secret probation type shite. It running convoys for DOS and DOD personnel. Dangerous work for sure but not highly classified. Now if he's doing shite like the guys in Benghazi CIA Annex were doing that's another story. But DOS has contracts world wide fir security contractors. It's no secret. I've never heard Bush say what specific contracts he worked
Well I do know you well enough to know you're a fellow vet who knows his shite. So while I cant vouch for Bushmaster personally, the fact you can carries weight with me.
ETA: you're still a damned jarhead though

He gives enough details on here that it wouldn't be hard at all to find out who he is. Bragging about killing people for security companies on a big online forum is not something I would be doing.
It's also hard to take him seriously when he starts these types of threads and then posts things like this:

I used my knife and my sidearm on so many of them
And has a "coyote death count" in his profile. It all seems a little ridiculous. Like someone else said, this sounds like the plot from a Stallone movie

Good points. I just don't think it right though to make a black and white accusation of him making it all up though without any actual evidence that he's lying. It's understandable to be suspicious and doubtful. But I'm my opinion it's a bit over the line to accuse him of being full of shite.
And for the record, I'm not saying that's what you're doing here. Rather I'm making a general observation based on posts I've seen in here.

I appreciate all of the feedback. I admit that sometimes I may have too many adult beverages and post more info that I should sometimes.
Wasnt trying to provoke people or come across as some badass or anything.
i had a talk with my dad this morning and he made me realize that there is nothing I can do to change the past. I have a good life and I just need to take the time to enjoy it
Thanks again for all of the input.

I just want to say that if I had a job killing ragheads I'd brag about that shite all the time. I'd probably try to video the kills so that I could watch them at night right before bedtime... then I could dream about dead Hadjis.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to brag or be a badass. Damn Jack Daniels got the best of me and sometimes I post stuff I probably shouldn't in hindsight.

I'm glad you said it, brother. I've thought that on a few occasions, "Bush shouldn't post when he's been drinking."

Amen. Regret and second-guessing will eat you up. I hate to say we have to live for the moment, but we do. The big shot clock in the sky runs against every single one of us. Nobody gets to their deathbed saying, "I wish we hadn't traveled so much and had so much fun."
Like I said earlier, you only have yourself to answer to - nobody can say you didn't carry your share of the load, probably some other people's share, too.
I tell the story every now and then - a commander had some personal beef with me that I never understood or even got a good reason for - anyway, I was "not relieved" after about 5 months in command (although I had been acting commander for 6 months before that). Then, the unit gets deployed (our commander was the state mobilization officer, and much like LBJ, was just dying for a combat command). We were still in our dwell time from a prior deployment and I would have had to sign a waiver to be deployed again so soon. I had troops coming to me and asking me, "Sir - please get on the mission. We're going to need someone downrange with some common sense."
I prayed on it, but I didn't trust the guy. He fired my replacement after 1 month and they deployed with a young lieutenant as commander and he was a disaster, as was the other company commander. Thank God we didn't lose anybody downrange or I would have felt terrible.
I didn't think I could do any good (maybe I was right) in that situation, and my family deserved more than a few months with me after my having just been gone a year. But, had I still been company commander when the deployment order came in, there is no question I would have signed the waiver and deployed - warts and all. He did me a favor by "not relieving" me.
Everything works out as it's supposed to. You've been over a dozen times. God bless you for that. But, I wouldn't agonize about not going again for 1 minute.

Sounds like the aging pro athlete; if you're asking yourself this question your heart's not in it anymore. Time to find something else to do.

The part you will miss is the guys and being amped up. Nothing compares but like someone else said why tempt fate.
I was told and it's true. You will know when it's time.
