| 2004-11-26 |
| A 72-year-old Oklahoma grandmother is preparing to become one of the oldest US military staff to go to Iraq. Lena Haddix, from Lawton, a military wife for nearly 30 years, says she volunteered for the Iraq mission. "I wanted to do something for the country, because I was always left behind taking care of the children," Ms Haddix told the Associated Press. Her five children, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren all discouraged her but to no avail. "I just see so many of the boys. They're like little kids. They keep telling me, 'I'm going over, ... I would just like to go over and be with them." "the oldest US military staff to go to Iraq" ROFL |

| #5 Hell, 12 grannies like mine Murat and your asses wouldn't have been over run by a few Chineese. Never trust the Turkish Brigade on your flank. |

| #4 I know I'd be willing to put my wife's 78-year-old mother up against you. She keeps a schedule of swimming, college courses, gardening, etc. that would wear out most of us. She has outlived two husbands so far and is dating again. Your wife's mother is my hero. |

| #3 Don't laugh, Murat. She can probably whip your butt at just about anything. I know I'd be willing to put my wife's 78-year-old mother up against you.
