Most of the members here are veterans or serving on active duty. All of us understand that there are some things we know that have no business getting out in the open on the internet. For example, my little brother is currently in the 82nd Airborne and is serving in Iraq. I will not mention his name, where in Iraq he is serving, when his unit is rotating back home etc. Stuff like that could be used by the terrorists to compromise him, his men and their safety. You are essentially asking us how to get in contact with somebody overseas. For that kind of information, yes you have come to the wrong place. While I do wish you the best of luck in re-acquiring contact with your friend(s) I don't know you and I ain't telling you shit. If he really is your friend you should appreciate that.

And I said your post sounds like BS, I didn't say it was BS. Maybe it is you who should re-read my post.

Again, I wish you the best of luck but it might be time for the harshness of reality to set in. If you have phone numbers and get no response to messages or no answers at all, it might be that they don't want to contact you. I'm sorry I don't have answers for you.

when it comes to the safety and security of our brothers and sisters deployed overseas you betcha we're paranoid.

Wow you sure know how to hurt someone feelings.
I am not asking for anyone here to get in contact with anyone in Iraq for me... I am not asking about anyone who is deployed overseas or one of your brothers or sisters. Where did I say that in my first posting? I am getting very confused on why you are saying things that I haven't even ask or said!!...

You are essentially asking us how to get in contact with somebody overseas.

NO............. I kindly ask a simple question about the Internet Provider there, if it was up or if it was down in Iraq.......... I never asked anyone here about getting in touch with a person there for me. NOW did I? Where did you read that in my first posting?

I just have not been able to get in touch with my friend in Iraq for a month now, I am a bit worried about him. Then here you are going off on me very rudely, and saying things I have never said or ask.. What's up with that?

LET me paste my questions again.... OK?

My QUESTION is: Has something happened to the Internet Provider in Baghdad? Or could there be a power problem in that area? I know with all the bombing I hear about on the news there could be something like that wrong with the I.P. or power stations. BUT I am not sure at all.......

I don't think I was rude in how I ask my 2 questions, BUT you being rude to me is not a nice way to treat someone who is just asking a simple question about the IP in Iraq.


Thank you!
