I find it a bit depressing....as many of my fellow soldiers here in Bosnia do....that we have damn near been forgotten about. It seems that anytime you see something on the news about care packages being sent out that the only mention of deployed soldiers is Iraq or Afghanistan.

Now I'm not in any way trying to take anything away from the guys serving there, but hey....we are deployed far away from home just like they are! While we may not be going through the same dangers as them....its still nice to know we are appreciated and acknowledged as well. Anytime I tell someone that I am deployed....they ask what part of Iraq I'm in. Its almost embarassing to tell them I'm in Bosnia. I always seem to get the same reaction, "Oh....we still have troops there?"

The guys and I here all think we have been forgotten about. Hell I think the only reason the Army still knows we are here is because they are still paying us! Sorry for the long rant....but this, in my opinion, is a bunch of BS. There is NEVER any mention of this place on the news....and most people dont even remember why we are even over here. Its getting old....really old.

I'm sorry if this offended anyone....I just needed to get it off my chest.
