Moehnle, who is on his second tour in Iraq, said the changes he has witnessed since he was last here in 2006 have been dramatic. “The city was like the Wild West, we'd put our heads and and drive down (the middle of Fallujah) and hope not to get shot,” he said. “Since we've been here (this year), we can stop and shoot the breeze.”
