I'm just posting to vent some frustration about the state of affairs over there..Got a call from my son today. On tuesday, the convoy he was riding in was attacked by insurgents with an IED. The vehicle directly in front of his was destroyed. Two of the three inside were killed. My son's best friend died in his arms. The vehicles? "armored" Suburbans..Yea, soccer mom rigs. Well the armor didn't do much to help those inside. My son is physically ok, but will be forever traumatized by the sight of his friends mangled and broken bodies. I'm hoping that he will be ok enough to continue his mission, if not, that they will send him home. Iknow we are at war with a religion in their own back yard, but I don't agree with our being there. I say pull all of our sons, daughters, fathers, brothers etc. out of that shithole and let the radical Islamists kill each other off. When he was first deployed, I felt dismayed, but not afraid. However, in light of the fact that it could have been his vehicle, I am now terrified at the prospect of never seeing him alive again, or that he may come home a maimed and broken shell of his former self. This madness must end! Pray for our troops... We all know Bush and Co aren't..
