April-17-08:- today we were out in mission and there were alot of IED's (Impressive Explosions Devices) on the road..so anyways we were trying to defuse them, i was watching them, looking at them and paying attention to what they doing..suddenly a soldier "one of my friends" came behind me, i didnt know he was coming towards me and yelled "BOOOM" and touched me in the back..
i was like dude u scared the shit out of me and u almost get me a heart attack, he was like am sorry man i'm just training u to be ready for everything, i was like anyways thanx bastard for scaring me..anyways no1 of us got hurt but there was one already blowed up and it hurted civi iraqis just like usual!!
April-18-08:- Today was my cousin wedding party, and sadly i didnt join the party cuz im here at my work!!..she called me and she said Sam plz come, cuz im the crazy dude in the family lol, so i make the party more pleasant and share thier happiness..
But unfortuntily just like i didnt have the chance to attend my bro wedding party last year..now im missing my cousin also..what a happiness I'm living!!
April-18,19&20-08:- Myself and other terp had been selected as the best terps in the FOB(Forward Operation Base) here,due to our good job they chosed us to work somewhere else for couple days cuz they need more help there..but like i thought its worse life in this new place where i'm now..but anyways hopefully its only 48 hrs or max 72 hrs..
Now im with new guys but they good and friendly also..thanx god for everything he gives me which it was bad or good!!
April-20-08:- Myself & C. the other terp, we got back to our old base after spending 2 nights plus 3 days..it wont that bad acxept no good showers or latrines or good food..but the soldiers&the officers they were so good,during this short time i realy got long with 'em cuz i luv ROCK and METAL music&they do, they copied for me some music that i luv..anyways we got back peacefully.. Anyways when i got back a new girl that i just knew for like 5 days ago through the internet and she is my friend sister,now i had her#and i start being bad person..am so ashamed from wat im doin..but i did cuz Amy left me..i made a decsion that i'll start Drinkin, doin Drugs&Sex..cuz i got nothing worth in my life..nothing makes me happy for lil bit..
So then i sent SMS to Amy and i told her ''Im betraying my family,my religion&my goodness cuz of u,u fucked the shit otta of me,u turned me to bad person..Am full with SHAME cuz of u..im sure u still dont care abut me..its allright though!!.." Then she called me and i cudnt ans her from the 1st time cuz i was crying inside..then i collected my power and i talked to her for like more then 2 hours.. i just wanted from her to be nice with me and supporting me,i just want her be by my side..i dont want us to be boy-girlfriend anymore i just want us be a normal friends caring abut each other..
but she refused and she chosed to burn the 3 beautiful years we had..i told her OKAY i hate God cuz he turned u to devil to me, i hate God, cuz God never helped me,God never showed me mercy..im sick and tired..Then I asked her to do me one thing for the sake of our old relationship and its: JUST PRAY ME TO DIE,LIKE GETTING SHOT IN THE FOREHEAD OR IN MY SICK HEART will makes me rest forever..but she refused also..
Anyways we hanged off and she left me like a pig, and she said do what u wana do, i dont care abut u, i just care abut ur family cuz ur family losing u..then BYE..
in that time i realy never wished to DIE like this..if killing myself not gonna take me to hell, i'll fuckin kill myself, but im hopin i die here so i can go to heaven cuz i live in hell already in my country!! I slept that night and i was praying to sleep and NEVER WAKE again..i slept maybe like 3 in the morning..

I'm glad he didn't scare the guys working on the IED or that boom could have been for real. The fact that they mess with you shows they like you though. I'm sorry every time I hear about people getting hurt or killed by IEDs or car bombs. The ones that do this have no souls. Y'all keep up the good work. Solo
Hi Sam,
Your story reminds me of a very strange story from Los Lunas, New Mexico, US. A man's car was stolen,
and a little while later, the owner of the stolen car saw his vehicle
parked at a gas station. So, he went and inspected his car, and found the keys in the ignition, and he took the keys, and the people that were in the car run away from the owner.
Well, the man found 1000 US dollars in Iraqi dinars in his car and an IED - it turned out the guy who stole the car was likely transporting illegal Iraqis into the US with the car, because Los Lunas is near the Mexican border.
As to the IED, perhaps the Iraqis were planning an attack in the US.
The FBI said it wasn't an act of terrorism, but who the F drives around the US with an IED and 1000 dollars worth of Iraqi dinars?
Mr. Ghost, that happened about 30 miles from where I live. I never did hear a follow up story about it. It was pretty stupid of the guy (he was a local) that stole the Hummer to keep driving in the area it was stolen from. I do know there are those here that are not friendly to America even though outwardly they say they are. Solo
hello Solo and Mr.Ghost,
how u guys doin?
yea Solo he is Sgt. he is cool as fuck..i like him and most of the soliders here they like me too..
i mean most of the Marines and Soldiers i worked with, they were good with me..
guys the terriosm like a CANCER, its everywhere..
Hi Sam, just found out about your blog. Stay strong, be safe, & tell us how it is!
Yep Sam, these al Qaeda scum are all over the world. Solo
Sam, allah yisa3dek o yi7meek inshallah
stay safe.

Sam: Thank you for your service to the Americans AND the Iraqis! You can take much pride in what you do, and your family and friends will also, if not yet then eventually they will.
I think the Iraqi people have come to respect the Iraqi Army and they will come to view you brave interperters as even more heroic than them. Surely your job is at least as dangerous. Are you allowed to carry a weapon?
It is good to have your perspective on what you see. Reading blogs helps tremendously to get the real story of what is going on over there.
Your newest reader, Joe
Sam,I just read all your posts. Please don't let anyone make you feel like a traitor. You're serving your country well. When the U.S. withdraws most of the troops,I think Iraqis will understand that we just wanted to make your country stronger. It's important to us that Iraq become a prosperous democracy. Prosperous democracies don't fight each other. It's never happened once.
Btw,69% of Iraqis want the U.S. to stay until Iraq is stronger according to the latest BBC poll. The real traitors are the people working to pull Iraq apart. People like yourself are the heroes.
May God bless you Sam!
hello Joe,Maury,Marsho & everybody..
Joe u got be kiddin abut the Iraqi Army(I.A.), dude they handed over thier weapons to Sadr millitia!!how u want the good iraqis repsect these soldiers??have u heard abut American soldier got shot in the back from an I.A in Sadr city??
dude im iraqi&sadly i dont trust IP's,IA's and NP's, i dont trust any iraqi force..
no man we r not allowed to carry weapons but sometimes they team we work with, they give us a 9mm or shotgun or AK47 or any weapon..thats if the team leader wanted to give me!!cuz he got to take a full responsiblity if i shot anybody with it..but it makes me feel safer..back with the Marines i used to carry weapon most of the time..even ppl cant say im iraqi terp cuz i just look like them..
tx Maury,i remember once a Marine told me that im a triator to my country and he meant it..so its not only the iraqis think that!!! so sad but true unlucky..
yea Marsho i realy need god blessings and tx for it..
God bless all of us..

Well, they've always known there was a lot of militia infiltration in the IA, so that mass desertion could be seen as spies being flushed out. Maybe the Iraqi Army isn't exactly respected yet, but I'd think the soldiers who REMAIN can be more easily trusted now. The army is probably better of without a bunch of JAM sympathizers in it, even if that does cut down on its overall numbers.
Best of luck.

hey Sam! I hadn't heard that Linkin Park song, but found it & listened. Very good, I can see how you relate to it!
Have you heard of Primus? They are old timers & in the opposite direction- more towards "silly" that is. Their stuff isn't so much for relating to as it is for maybe escaping, or getting pumped up. Two examples:
Tommy the Cat (love the Ren & Stimpy style animation!)
Winona's Big Brown Beaver
You may score some more "culture points" with the slightly older NCOs if you're familiar!
Semper fi, good luck, & stay safe !!
hello M.G.
thanx man but SHE IS AMY NOT MAY!! ok bro?? Amy not MAY!!lol..

take care fellas..
Semper Fi,
Sam
Sam my apologies, we aim to please :), here ya go:
Alright Sam,
Glad you are feeling happier about things, and Amy and you are at peace. Now we can start work on the movie about your life: Sux, An Interp's Tale.
Okay, I'm thinking Neil Patrick Harris as you. He can give you the tall, moody, introspective look and Neil needs a meaty dramatic role to resurrect his career. He was in Starship Troopers. He's gay in real life, but once he gets a look at some of those Iraqi hotties like Marshmallow or Micho, his gay days are over. :)
Or, we can go for a more macho Sam with John Cena, Professional Wrestler from the WWE. He's 185 CM and 110 KG of pure muscle and he can wreck destruction and havoc.
He was the star of The Marine, so he's got the right credentials for the role.
So, I'm picturing a scene with Cena as you... you've caught one of the JAM hiding an IED... You're so pissed off, because it's going to kill innocent Iraqis, so you're lifting the JAM guy up by his throat with one hand and ready to crush his throat... and the Marines
are screaming at you... "Don't do it, Sam. Don't, do it."
Now for the casting of Amy, she sounds very classy, so we need a classy actress for her. We're going with Gwyneth Paltrow. Can't get more classy than her...
Start writing your book, Sam.
Take Care.

The late great Joe Strummer singing Love Kills... ain't that the truth :)
