After Iraq, and giving up on the idea of returning to religious life, I found myself dating women. Surprisingly, my penis miraculously reappeared. My penis returned, PTL: Praise the Lord! It was a miracle!

With my new miracle better than water turned to wine, I met some incredible women during my post-Iraq life. I dated women who expressed that they liked the “Soldier Boy” in me. I inspired them to find that calming Shirelles song from the '60s in my new being. I was that soldier boy ready to protect them, win their hearts and secure the victory in them. They saw me as "Soldier Boy" and I saw them as battle buddies. But wait—they'd never experienced war.
