Baghdad قصص

"...Twist and Turns are all a part of life. We must learn how to strive." Your Maman ❤️

Welcome to a tale revealing an inspirational journey from beginnings of a mundane, dead-end existence to the political global hotspot of a country preparing for war against the US and it's allies and then on to a modern day quest for love, ultimately found in a most unlikely part of the world. Along the way are thoughts, observations and emotions mixed in with quizzical short stories, pop poetry, jottings, snip-bits, enthralling images and an underlying bent towards finding the lighter side of all things which pop up in the course of events. However, an undertone transcends the entire publication of never, ever give up. Enjoy the stimulation...

"The world is a dangerous place. From sticks and rocks to guns and bombs Man has always found new ways to kill each other, in wars and not. But like time itself everything must change, including warfare. Uniforms and front lines have become relics of the past. The new uniforms could be a suit and a tie or a shirt and jeans. New front lines have been drawn and they range from the slums of Brazil to the Steppes of Russia. Tactics have changed, weapons more deadly and people more dangerous. The Men of today are murderous and ruthless taking lives like they were specs of sand on an everlasting beach. But there are men, men of honor and justice, who know what must be done and will give their lives to see it through. I am one of those men. These are dangerous times, regular soldiers are not going to cut it. We don't need good men, we need great men. Because men like us; are willing to do what others are not and sacrifice everything for the fate of the world. Like I always say good men do what they are told, but great men do what is right" -Captain John Macmillian. Task Force 101
