youre about my age, a year younger. i actually ran into a bunch of bundeswehr cats out there. aussies, italians, and brits also. in the earlier stages there was much more multinational support trying to give legitimacy to the operation. we were always jealous, general order 1 prohibited us from drinking. we saw a lot of you pounding a nice bierchen with your food at chow, all we could do is watch. usa is the only country i know of with that prohibition, also most troops still must be clean shaven and hair cut. saw some italian guy that looked like jesus, it was ridiculous. there were romanians, and by god their equip never left ww2. felt bad for those guys eventually we all found out the war was a lie, most of us believed the us was under attack, but turned out to be false intel from mossad about wmds to go and wipe saddam out. complete war crime.
