Conflicts

So while I have been deployed there are alot of conflicts I have gone through. Nothing is like the one that is going on now. When we left home we got a bunch of people who were not organic 1161st. Which means we got a bunch of people from other units to fill our numbers. One of them was our platoon leader who is a Lieutenant. Being an LT I have to give him the proper military respects, however this moron is only 23. He has no experience leading anything other than himself and he doesnt even do that right. When we first deployed he wanted nothing to do with the training that we did as a platoon, you know team building, to make sure we all get along. Well when we got to Iraq he decided he wanted to be a bigger part. All he does is get in the way, He has even tried to get SFC Garcia, a good friend of mine and the second platoon platoon sergeant, in a ton of trouble. Some of which has included me and is part of the reason as to why I got removed from my platoon. This guy has admitted that he has tried to get Garcia fired from his job. Now let me tell you that Garcia has been in the military for 20 years and is about to retire. So I would think that having 20 years of experience is a little bit better than zero freakin experience.
Well anywho, a bunch of NCO's are getting together tomorrow to talk about the crap that has been going on, and how our chain of command is at fault. They want me to be there but I dont think that I want to be involved with that because I have this feeling that it is going to backfire on them all. I am really sad that I am not part of the Platoon but I feel as though I am away from all the BS that is happening. So I would like to say for the record, I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO BEING A TRUCK DRIVER AND I CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUT OF THE MILITARY.
