imho, this 'war' (although aside from a few bombs here and there it is basicly over) can only hope to stop after bush leaves office.... as long as he's in there this war will continue, more and more troops will be sent there.... bush is a total idiot....

anyways, i hope your brother stays safe, as well as anyone else over there... it sucks to lose anyone close to you, friend or family.

as i watch the death toll rise, i wonder how many more people are going to have to die, before we're out of there for good... although i can see the reasoning in it, i'm really tired of america being the bigger brother and jumping in everyone's wars... just think about how many wars we've had in the history of america, and think how many of those we weren't even involved in until we involved ourselves in it.
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . Saying goodbye to brother off to Iraq Yesterday, I had to say goodbye again to my little brother as he goes on his third tour of duty in Iraq. He is a career officer, a Lt. Col in the Rangers, in charge of over 6,000 young men, and he will be over there for the next year. I told him that I wish he didn't have to go, and he said he wished he didn't either, but that is his job. We don't discuss politics - we've learned not to provoke each other. He tries to focus on the small gains they have made and continue to make over there. He Rating: 5
