Combat Stripes

Abstract

During my deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom as the 1SG of Alpha Company, 15th MI Battalion, I saw and experienced various types of combat stress. This stress affected my Soldiers in different ways. Some Soldiers reacted positively and rose to the occasion, while otherSoldiers cracked under the pressure. Which Soldiers reacted in which manner might surprise you, I know it sure wasnt what I expected! The combat stripes that my Soldiers earned were both literal and figurative and they lived with those stripes for the rest of their lives
