Marine Home from Iraq says It is Not Getting Better

From Charleston WV Gazette: Marine Cpl. Dan Wyatt: “People who say it’s getting better... I would like them to enlist, and go see how great it is firsthand. On the 1st deployment, we had people giving us the thumbs-up, inviting us into their homes for tea and kabobs. We had 2 guys killed and 50 injured out of a battalion and support crew of about 1200. The 2nd deployment was a month shorter, w/27 killed and 201 injured. We were down more than a whole company, and not a lot of replacements. That should tell someone - anyone - that it’s not getting better.”
