#1 Well, I hope Obambi gets his shit together. Looks like my eldest son will get an Afghan experience in his Army career come late summer.

#2 Many thanks to your son and your whole family as well, Frank. I hope it's not too pretentious for me to say that we're all praying for him, because it really should be said. Our troops are facing down some of the worst threats to all of civilization over there, and a just world would never stop honoring them.

#3 thks Ryuge. He volunteered. As a parent, you always hope they'd be safe in a REMF sinecure, but he wasn't happy in Mil Intel, and asked to get this experience. Part of the job description, I understand. Your prayers are welcome.
