Very nice story.

Yes indeed, I bet there are thousands of these stories out there, to bad the public hardly ever hears about the good the U.S. is/has done.

Thanks for this Story.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing in Iraq? I noticed you're armed in one of the pictures, security/PMC?

i drive around baghdad and surrounding areas making deliveries, i am my own security, so its kind of a cross between security and cargo.  and damn right im armed, its baghdad, would you be here if you didnt get at least a couple guns ?

Is the private sector money as good as it is rumored to be over there?

Correction to my last... when I said "Damn right", I had misread your post, and it was meant to agree with you... as in "You're damned right I'd be armed"

Do you find your armament localy or bring it in with you? Are the allied forces using courier services rather than dipatch riders of their own?

the weapons i have were bought in Baghdad, paid for by my company of course, although some guys have bought a few toys for themselves.  in regards to couriers services, yes, the coalition really doesnt have much choice. there are so many troops over here, and so much stuff needs to get to them quickly, and they are very busy as it is, so they employ the likes of people like me to drive around and deliver stuff, although we are not limited to the military, we do a lot of stuff with guys from dyncorp and a bunch of others....

Christ I was a courier in Victoria and Hamiliton and I thought that was tough.  Wished I was armed a couple of times too.  Good on you.  Stay safe.
