Muslims serving in U.S. Military face complications

Thousands of Muslims have served in the United States Military.  This has been traced back all the way to the First World War.  However the problem Muslims face is the complications of confronting other muslims when out on a mission such as being deployed to Iraq.  As a psychiatrist states, "many muslim soldiers and their commanders say that the relationship between the military and its muslim service members will only grow more difficult".  I can strongly agree with this prediction due to the fact that it is difficult to have a sense that someday they will be able to get over the fact of somewhat going against your kind however you are doing the right thing.  Abdi Akgun joined the marines in August of 2000 straight out of high school.  One of his reasons for joining was to fight terrorism.  The attacks of September 11 only added on to his commitment and determination.  However a couple years later, he was deployed to Iraq and the though of him confronting other muslims in war made him stop and think.  I believe that this type of feeling is normal due to a muslim having a right conscious and thinking about it.  I also think that there are very few people who would be able to block out the complications.
