The last 24 hours of Boot Camp lasted about a year. I'm pretty sure we were in a time warp. I just wanted a fricking pack of cigarettes!

Most of what you see on the news occurs in Baghdad, or Falluhjia(sp). Over there sleep is reare and attacks are not. Out here in the Anbar province however most insurgents are being pushed north towards Rawha and Haditha. Personally I'm glad I've had such a boring deployment, the reverse could have been far worse physically and mentally.

Iraq Body Count Running at Double Pace
Aug 25, 4:44 PM (ET)
By STEVEN R. HURST
BAGHDAD (AP) - This year's U.S. troop buildup has succeeded in bringing violence in Baghdad down from peak levels, but the death toll from sectarian attacks around the country is running nearly double the pace from a year ago.
Some of the recent bloodshed appears the result of militant fighters drifting into parts of northern Iraq, where they have fled after U.S.-led offensives. Baghdad, however, still accounts for slightly more than half of all war-related killings - the same percentage as a year ago, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press.
The tallies and trends offer a sobering snapshot after an additional 30,000 U.S. troops began campaigns in February to regain control of the Baghdad area. It also highlights one of the major themes expected in next month's Iraq progress report to Congress: some military headway, but extremist factions are far from broken.
In street-level terms, it means life for average Iraqis appears to be even more perilous and unpredictable.
The AP tracking includes Iraqi civilians, government officials, police and security forces killed in attacks such as gunfights and bombings, which are frequently blamed on Sunni suicide strikes. It also includes execution-style killings - largely the work of Shiite death squads.
The figures are considered a minimum based on AP reporting. The actual numbers are likely higher, as many killings go unreported or uncounted. Insurgent deaths are not a part of the Iraqi count.
