Little Star

I was incredibly happy to be back in America. But ... I kept having feelings of wanting to be back there (in Iraq)... When you come home ... you feel this guilt for not being with your brothers. For not being with your people... There was culture shock. Everyone in America was fat. Everyone was on some stupid diet... I felt like people didn't understand anything. That they were selfish and didn't appreciate what they had.

young and female in the US army"

"It is a privilege to be able to help. There’s all sorts of stuff that’s being brought to our attention. We’re so lucky, it’s good fun, it’s really enjoyable - there are better things to enjoy than consuming the latest fashion. There’s no comparison, there are so many cool things to do."
