This is the latest letter from David, a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq.... cd I recently went on a long convoy, I thought you might want to know what the expierence is like. The convoy didn't start off great as the first stop we went to get gas and the attendant said it was only for the Iraqi Army and Police force. Seriously what is the use of taking over and conquering a country if you can't get gas anywhere I mean isn't gas the reason we are here...so the terrorists don't control it...anyways that was disheartining, and I didn't feel at all safe parked next to huge 10,000 gallon tanks of combustible gas...so went to another spot on base and the Iraqi dispensing it asked for some money. Jesus Christ we spend 300 billion on this war and still some Iraqi has his hands out, We said no, he still insisted (did he not see we had loaded automatic weapons on us....give us some god damn gas!) finally some Iraqi officers who were eager to please any American military got us some gas. that was before we even left one mile from the compound.
