Couldn't get past a few paragraphs of that bloviated introduction. Does he eventually get to the point ?

There is NOTHING awesome about Idaho Falls.
Read within.

That was beautiful. Sums up my brief time in Idaho Falls pretty well.
*edit: Alas, must spread rep.

I didn't read all of it, but he does bring up a lot of good points.
I have tried to put myself in his shoes and its tough to say what I would want to happen in that situation. I mean, would I want to be released? Yes. But would I want to have my life traded for more than one guy who have done bad things with intent to do them again and possibly lose more fellow soldiers? No, no I wouldn't.
I would not be able to live with myself. Or I would have to live the most rewarding life ever in an attempt to compensate.
But is it good we got him back? Yes. Was it worth it? I hope so.
But as a vet, I have a lot of issue with the fact that he left his post. Granted, we still don't know WHY, or how far he went, or how he was captured. But had he not left his post, the chances of this ever happening is greatly reduced.
where did i say idaho falls was awesome?
