Here are My answers

Absolutely there is difference between my answers and other interpreters' answers..

1. I always say how old u think? they say like 22 or 23..i say negative i'm 20 years and I'll be 21 next August

2. From Baghdad

3. I always say my real name and my nickname is my real name too cuz Sam is short for my long name.

4. I wont say my long name here!!

5. so the Iraqis won't recognize me and snipe me when I get home and kills me and kill my family cuz am a terp

6. I usually say yes I have girlfriend but to be honest "a girlfriend' term doesn't mean what it means in the States, well I used to have a girlfriend but we broke up recently. To be so honest, yes I'm virgin but I say no I'm not. I say I had sex only twice in my life cuz our customs is hard in Iraq and its not easy to sleep with a girl and u got to sleep with her from the back so she can still virgin!! I say for myself I do and I like to do it but I don't know about other ppl!!..(but in the fact I'm virgin and I feel lil bit shame to say virgin to Americans cuz they'll think I'm weird or something!!

* I remember once we were bullshitting and one of the soldiers who is 23 years said he is virgin and I was like thanks god I'm not the only virgin here!! then everybody turned to me and they said "Sam u r a virgin??" I was like FUCK NO dawg im just kidding lol!!)

7. They love asking do u know where is the whore house? I always say dude if I know where is it at I won't stay here with u, u'll find me there having fun while u here beating off ur meat..

8. No I don't drink and I don't do drugs but I'll when I get the hell out of this place!!

9. I work cuz I need money and I want to revenge from the insurgents cuz they fucked up my life and I hate them to death.

10. I don't really like it cuz I hate military life.

11. After the invasion I said thanks god there is no more Saddam army, I don't have to be in the army anymore, but now I'm working with the hardest military in the world US Army and US Marines!!..

12. No, I feel proud for what I'm doing cuz I'm doing this to myself and to my family and I'm not ashamed from what I'm doing cuz I'm convinced that I'm not doing wrong thing, I'm just a guy wants to have a nice life, that's all!!

13. to be honest, Saddam's time was way better to me and to my family, cuz in his time there was security and no1 fucks with u only if u fuck with Saddam's govt. so if u wanted live in peace just stay away from Saddam and his men but now u got to stay away from the whole Iraq to be in peace..

14. I don't really know why these words r the only ones they know, next time we stop by some1 ask me to ask him, why most of the Iraqis know only these words?

15. yes I do, sometimes not really but I force myself to believe I'm safe with u guys so I can have full self-confidence of myself..

16. Dude I'm dead long time ago, since we left our houses and my life got fucked up, so im not really scared and sometimes I pray to die, seriously I do, I feel the death walks with me and so many times I felt the death angel walks in front of my sight, specially when we get clashes and gunfight, I see my life flashes in my eyes and when I really feel am so close to death, i say God plz I don't want to die yet for heaven and my mom's sake, after everything goes well I just feel how much life is priceless and it is worth to live, just when I taste the death I feel the good flavor of the life, then I wish and fight just to stick alive..

17. Frankly? sometimes I feel I'm not proud to be a Muslim or Iraqi for all the wrong things I see during this job from ppl calling themselves Muslims. so I don't feel proud to be a Muslim and there are ppl like these bastards Muslims too. honestly I hate Muslims but I don't hate Islam, cuz Muslims nowadays don't follow the real Islam. yea sometimes I don't feel proud to be Iraqi either and a Muslim, I'm sorry for myself..

18. hell yea every1 in the world wants to go the states, dude anywhere BUT here!!.

19. no not really, it'll if I'm lucky enough but I'm not that lucky. I don't know really when, but I think when I put my plans in time and I get enough money to do something that I want to do like college issues.

20. I hate military life, I hate to be told hey do this do that, even as an interpreter but I'm doing it not forever just till I get enough and find another civilian job..

21. I think because Iraqis think that Americans do all the bombs and they in charge of killing the innocents or something like this. that is what I hear of course, some of them don't report because they are the family of those insurgents, or because they are poor and getting paid by the bad guys in order not to tell…who knows!

I know I might hurt some people through my answers and my concepts but I promised that I'll say only the truth about myself in my blog even if it makes me look bad person or whatever..
As I always say, I'm not ashamed to be the person who I'm today no matter what people think how bad or good I'm. its just me, myself, its just Sam!!..
