    In this vlog, I'm flying back to Baghdad, Iraq! I'm exploring Baghdad alone, so you can see what it's like to walk around Baghdad solo as an American tourist, and whether it's safe or not.

I am a combat veteran in our conflict in Afghanistan but hold no hate to the Afghan people i wish them better days. WE NEED PEACE. We all need prosperity and peace.

      I agree completely. I want to visit one day (with careful planning probably, but it would be great). I wish more Americans saw the Middle East as a place full of amazing people, just like all parts of the world.
      I once heard a person say that they were worried about people hitchhiking on planes during the exit out of Afghanistan and I let them know Afghans want a good life and a job and want to live here for a reason. If there was no vetting process at all, that would be an issue, but that isn’t how it is.

      I truly understand the feeling of missing your home country. It's wonderful to hear that you have such fond memories and a deep connection to Iraq. I hope that you have the opportunity to return one day and relive those cherished moments. The generosity and kindness of the Iraqi people are truly special, and it's heartwarming to see their true spirit shine through despite the challenges they may face. Stay strong and keep those memories close to your heart. Iraq will always be a part of who you are.
