Ah, Iraq. Nothing makes my day more special than waking up to the sound of a recorded Imam's singing, the sand blowing in the wind, the smell of unwashed livestock and human bodies ever present.
Driving through the third-world villages, reminecent of the Flintstones, except the huts are made of mud and hay, it's amazing that these people live in the 21st century. Fecal-infested water, compounded with trash, urine, animal waste, and run-off, make intersting gutters right through the living areas and roads of the villages. A people in which plumbing and garbage disposal aren't a concept, and the word "conservation" only gets you a blank stare and a confused look.

I really appreciate you sharing the details of your experience in Iraq. I want to know this, I want to see what you and the troops are seeing.
The title is excellent. The details are clear. The end line is terrific - though I wonder if "get" is too soft a word? Have to think about that.
Keep 'em comin'.
