What makes someone at the age of 35 completely put their civilian life on hold to join the Army's 82nd Airborne?  Tim Taule is just one of those patriots.  Tim joined the Army after 9/11, put his civilian life on hold for 3 years and did tours of duty to Afghanistan and Iraq.  It's an interesting perspective from someone who having never thought about the military felt the need to join and contribute to the war effort between 2003 and 2005.  Some personal accounts of combat and the bizarre dichotomy that is life in a war zone.  Enjoy!
