Say goodbye to your loved ones.
Yes, I know, another cheerful, optimistic message from me. But this is what my friend's cousin did the other day when he got shipped out to Iraq. Like the story below, he too went through school on an Army grant, and now has been called up (of course, that's the risk, but still). He called his dad from Kuwait and said "We're setting up base here. We're going to go into Iraq soon, and I am going to die."
Bush always says he sleeps well at night, and I don't doubt it.
