BAGHDAD: Staff Sergeant David Safstrom does not regret his previous
tours in Iraq,
not even a difficult second stint when two comrades were killed while
trying to capture
insurgents.
"In Mosul, in 2003, it felt like we were making the city a better
place," he said.
"There was no sectarian violence, Saddam was gone, we were tracking
down the bad guys.
It felt awesome."
But now on his third deployment in Iraq, he is no longer a believer in
the mission.
The pivotal moment came, he says, this past February when soldiers
killed a man setting
a roadside bomb. When they searched the bomber's body, they found
identification showing
him to be a sergeant in the Iraqi Army.
"I thought, 'What are we doing here? Why are we still here?' " said
Safstrom, a member of
Delta Company of the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry, 82nd
Airborne Division. "
We're helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day.
They turn around at
night and try to kill us."
His views are echoed by most of his fellow soldiers in Delta Company,
renowned for its aggressiveness.
