dc.description.abstractAfter training for 16 months with an intensity that was almost more difficult than actual combat, I was chosen to become an Armored Crewman on an M1A2sep Abrams tank during 1st Cavalry Division's one year deployment to Baghdad, Iraq from March 2004 to March 2005, designated O.I.F.2, or the second American rotation in Operation Iraqi Freedom. What follows is a series of short stories where I attempt to paint a realistic picture of my experiences as a front-line combat tanker. I make no apologies for my bluntness, for as Tim O'Brien says in The Things They Carried, in war there is “no redemption.”
