I am glad that the war is ending as I did not believe that the troops were really going to leave considering Obama has not followed through on any of his campaign promises. This young man is certainly not to blame for the millions of innocent Iraqis that have been killed for no apparent reason. The older generations are responsible for believing lies and forgeries, being thrilled by shock and awe fireworks on TV which were actually bombs being dropped on innocent people. It must have been my anger over the mindless killing that you were sensing. The responsibilites of the adult world actually involve reading evidence and seeking truth before sending our precious youth to other nations to kill people that have not harmed us in any way. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. There were never and WMDs and the evidence was all there to see before the war even began. I am embarrassed by the way adults in this country blindly follow leaders who use forgeries for evidence. And the debt we have left for the future generations so that we can have our wars and tax breaks too. The adults in this country are selfish and foolish, but I in no way hold this young man responsible. If you are not angry, you have not been paying attention.

It is a pleasure to live in Homer all these years and see the children grow into adults and taking on the responsibilities of the adult world. I don't understand why anyone in the community would be so sacastic towards the young man featured in this story. Thomas is serving our country, a necessary job and one to be proud of. Have all the town hall meetings and the mean comments on the web blogs turned us into a nation of sacastic critics who have no purpose except to open mouth and insert foot.

"Right now, we are on night shift, due to the fact that we are about to get everybody out of Iraq." This statement just made my day. We're leaving? We're really leaving?! If this is what the troops are saying, I guess I will have to believe it. I am in shock and awe. Great story Homer Tribune-look forward to more. Hope when Tommy Boden gets home someone gives him a great job, a new car, and all the women fall for him. “We have not had to disarm any IED’s” Wow, it sounds kinda boring in Iraq, very glad to hear it!
