WOW Fengzi what a story......I just hope this experience does not stay with Chris forever. He already says he has images he can't get out of his head.

I know they could never prepare them completely for war but you would think they would help them to know how to talk to injured soldiers as they come in.

I mean these guys have just lost their best friend.
This kid did not even know what ICU was....

I guess I am still having a hard time accepting the fact that Chris is in the Army at all. He has always pushed the envelope. He can't just snowboard he has to snowboard out of a helicopter. He did the rock climbing thing too.

But he also went from this non violent kid volunteering at a Buddist temple to signing up for 6 years of the bloodiest mess he has ever experienced because one of his friends was severly injured over there.
I admire him for wanting to help but I am still adjusting. I am glad he calls several times a week, that is a lot more than most moms get. I am lucky.

thanks for the support guys.
