I talked to someone who just spent 10 months in Iraq, which honestly could be almost anyone in the Army since Army brass is deploying everybody. He told me something interesting. Deploying is easy; predeployment is hell. I mean hell like living in jail with some dude named Bubba who's looking for a new "Mommy". I mean hell like living with your PMS'ed mother-in-law and her new boyfriend "Donny". I mean hell like finding out your wife cheated on you with your brother... And your best friend, and your cousin, and his friends, and...
It's unpleasant.
I did get off work early today so I decided to unwind by actually using my XBox for what it was designed for and playing some video games. So I played "Ninja Gaiden" and got my butt handed to me by assorted fictional characters whose only purpose is to hassle hapless gamers. Strangely enough, it was enjoyable, but I could only take so much failure.
