After reading some of the American Soldier's Blog it became apparent to me that he is ignorant and very brutal in some respects. When he talks about shooting in schools he thinks that it would not be a problem to put plenty of armed guards throughout every school. It would take a lot of money from schools to supply these guards. Also, he believes that in order to get the full military experience, that he must be in action and killing people. He treats his sniper rifle like his baby and cherishes it in all respects. It seems to show the impact of war on a once regular civilian. He seems very brutal in regards to the death of Al-Zarqawi . He says he hopes that he burns very slowly in hell. Even though Zarqawi was a terrible person, it seems disgusting to hope that on a person. As long as he is dead, there is no need for hopes of him burning in hell. I would say he has an arrogant outlook on the war, but since he is a soldier in Iraq and knows more than me, I cannot. I do admire his passion when he talks about his family and about 9/11. It seems he wants to protect our country and that is a good thing.
