When I went on mobilization to Fort Lewis, Washington and left my son in the care of my parents, I thought my parental duties would be set aside until I returned home. Unfortunately, the soldiers of 351st Ordnance Company would prove me wrong with their excessive alcohol consumption, commonly term “binge drinking,” and destructive behaviors.

Despite the efforts of myself and the others we were not fully prepared to handle some of the outrageous events and lack of engagement from the leadership that would challenge us during the tour. My abilities as a junior noncommission officer and the understanding of leadership were redefined and I learned exactly what it meant to ensure soldiers have proper guidance, leadership, positive morale, and well-being.

There was no back for that young Captain; there was no back for all of us caught in these stupid wars somehow melted into one complicated and unresolvable conflict... And if everything was not so sad, it would have been just funny, because that war, as all other wars, could have been easily avoided and the whole country could have prospered after a death of our idolized leader with his white toy poodles...
