Thanks to Captain Vick for this informative interview. I especially liked this comment: “As they (Iraquis military men) spent more time with us and got to know us …. they said they would go back and tell their countrymen that we weren’t warmongers and that we didn’t want war …. that is something that I will always remember … and it was an honor to serve for 20 years and 28 days.

I appreciate how candid and open Sergeant Ford is in this interview. He tells it like it is and still in the end recommends some type of military experience for all. This is why I like the Peace Corp or other types of volunteer options of service for those who maybe couldn’t handle the combat side but want to serve. TY Clinton for a refreshing interview.
