Merry Christmas, not!

I just learned that my nephew is being sent back to Iraq on January 20th for his second tour of duty. Marine Captain. He’s on leave until January 7th and home for the holidays. That’s a tough Christmas for his parents, proud as they are of him. Fear lives in the gut and doesn’t go away. They all need to come home. Now.

Damn, that stinks.  But until someone pounds some sense into the powers that be, I guess this is what will continue to happen. Living with that fear day in and day out has to be horrific.  My good wishes for him for a safe tour and back soon.

It doesn’t sound as if sense is going to reign any time soon. Of all the worst possible choices this president could make, he’ll find it and implement it.

I can’t imagine what living with that fear must to do a family. I hope to heaven that I never have to find out.
