Well, we'v both had our say, and that's fine. Now, one thing ... family is not a problem... his daughter is a civilian contractor and when she got a chance to go, he asked to be sent. He's some kind of "M.P." guy who trains the locals or the Iraqi military - not sure specifics of that.

Point is, no need to worry about family, his daughter is over there and his wife is in Germany. Who knows what he says to his wife.

I posted this as a tribute to a friend and 'cause I thought it interesting.

Wish I hadn't now.
