My cousin is in the Navy doing PJ training, I think hes goign to like A school now or something, learning all the electronics on Blackhawks and Seahawks etc.
A kid who lived next to me in my dorm was sent to Kuwait in november.
A kid I went to highschool with just barely got out of BT and found out he was being sent to Iraq to try and take a town that a special forces group failed to take(how would you feel doing that)
A Kid I sometimes party with here got back form Iraq not too long ago.
People in the service are earning their pay right now and they know what they sign up for. Hopefulyl no more people die but its their line of work. Gl to the kid you kinda knew.

sorry to grave dig and all but I got an update on that kid I knew from highschool that was sent to Iraq. In the past week he was one of the people seriously injured in a bombing in Iraq. He was standing with a friend or someone and a bomb went of right next to them killing his friend and putting him in the hospital with a bunch of broken bones. this war has finally hit home for me.

That sucks, man. Hope he's alright.
My cousin was in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain for the past few months. He got back a while ago.
