Staff Sergeant Drew Koch, Iraq Correspondent

Staff Sergeant Drew Koch shares his views about current happenings in the Middle East. Everything said in this article is of his own opinion and not to be confused with the official standing of the U.S. Army. This week’s question: What is your biggest fear during your daily life and what is the scariest thing you’ve ever faced?

Again, I must emphasize that the answers I give are of MY opinion, and are in no way actual Official answers.  I am not able to answer on behalf of the Army, the Government or any office there in.  These are MY opinions and answers.  MY viewpoints: no one else’s.

Interesting question. I have no problem with any question that you guys send. I am a big boy and I can handle it. These ones are the interesting ones anyway.

My biggest fear is death, maiming and disfigurement. These things always sit in the back of my mind and contribute to my thoughts periodically. Although the majority of people here have no ill will toward coalition forces, all it takes is one guy who does.
