How do the young soldiers in Iraq release their pent up tension?

Little Miss Mary asked:


I am 17, and I have a tremendous amount of pent up tension that I suspect will be with me when I am 18 and 19.

How do the young soldiers in Iraq release their pent up tension when they are so far away from home in a strange land?

How do they satisfy the frustrations of youth?

    I worked out whenever I could and talked to my wife as much as I could. Tension gets you nothing but trouble, you have to learn to accept you circumstances and deal with it. I made some great friends, and great memories.

    My deployments in the USMC were only 7 months each……they are not that long and one is able to deal with them. I felt sorry for the Soldiers in the Army with 15-16 month deployments. Those guys were the ones who really sacrificed a lot.

    um i don’t know what your talking about my husband has been in since he was 18 and will be going to iraq for the third time in january. he plays a lot of video games, watches old seasons of his favorite show, a lot of them play WoW over there, they have internet but it is slow.

    i think you are asking more about ************ w/o being straightfoward. they do not allow **** or alcohol over there, put family members and wives send it or they buy it in iraq.

    mostly they just hang out with their roomate and eat and work. so i end up send the hubby a lot of food (slimjims, easy mac, the popsicles that don’t have to be frozen till they get there, and his favorite fruit roll ups)

    The same way teenagers blow off steam everywhere. Alcohol, *** and violence. It’s a war zone so the last one is kind of free.

    Not everybody is a basket case like yourself.

  6. Wicked Wanda says:

    Some do it by having *** with each other.

    There are both male and female soldiers over there and what happens in Iraq stays in Iraq.

    But some do other things….just like here in America.

    watch the locals strange ways

  9. Senor Magoo says:

    The two dollar ****** who hang around army camps do a fine job.

  10. brokeit says:

    mainly *** or jerking off. Ive seen soldiers trade mres for ***.

    Truth is boredom is truly a serious problem in any war.. It always has been. When they can they are lifting weights or are on the computer. They do have jobs to do over there too. It’s not like you wait to get attacked or something. They make you keep up on PT and you do guard duty. A lot of guys like to read. watch movies listen to music. But you are right it is a problem.

    They **** 14 yr old Iraqi girls then murder their entire families, including the aged grandfather in a wheelchair who suffered because he couldn’t do anything to stop the corrupt, powerful soldiers
