Sara Miller and her 82nd Airborne Unit were deployed to Iraq in September 2003 as part of an “emergency security force.” While initially stationed 80 miles west of Baghdad, she was soon moved; her whereabouts remained unknown to her friends and family for the duration of her deployment. Her duties included standing night guard in a watchtower over an army compound. She returned uninjured to Fort Bragg in the first week of April 2004, and has been promoted to Sergeant.

Thaddeus Ressler was given a “Psychological Evaluation” in November 2003; where he sought to convince his superiors that the army was a threat to his mental well being and pushing him towards suicide. While they initially discounted his case, they finally granted him a “Medical/Non-Physical” release, and he was issued an honorable discharge on December 23rd, 2003. Thaddeus returned home to his family in Chicago, where he is presently living in his parent’s back room, taking his dog for walks, and studying to be a clairvoyant.

Nelson Reyes was processed out of the army without penalty in Spring 2003. After his family’s less than warm homecoming welcome, he decided to move to Atlantic City. He got a job as a security guard on the graveyard shift at Showboat Casino, but was laid-off in September 2003. He is now attending bartending school.
