5,000 kilometers from home. From family. From comfort.
The desert stretched endlessly around us.
Sand found its way everywhere – every cavity.
Carrying plastic bags to shxt in. Leave no trace. No showering for weeks.
Nights were bitter cold as we kept watch.
But we had a mission.
I gathered my elite SF team around me.
“Here we are. Christmas in the Iraqi desert. I know each of us has someone back home on our minds today…
But I want you to know – there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than right here, with you.”
“Hell yeah!” The response was immediate, genuine.
We toasted. We embraced.
This wasn’t just brotherhood. This was love in its purest form.
This, my friends, is the kind of Christmas spirit I wish for you –
Merry X-mas!
