Before I don't have enough time due to prepping for our trip, and not knowing how much time I'll have when we get to Texas, WOOHOO, I thought I'd leave a post...

Hi to all that may read this... Don't hate the poster. Cheer the deafening silent protest. I hope this doesn't get me TOSed. I think if the soldiers can 'form' their own sort of protest, I can post it! Hope the admiral wasn't looking! I must and do support our armed forces as I derive my freedom from their sacrifices. I can also have an opinion. I also prey that God watches over them all. I heard today that the death toll has reached over 1900 young and not so. With no end in sight! At no other time have so many troops been overseas since Viet Nam. It's also been a long time since more than 50% of our national guardsmen have been activated, during WWII! Should I be concerned for those between the ages of 19-26 that I know? Or don't? what's the only way to keep upwards of 100,000 soldiers there that long? When they have already been making plans for the years '07-'08, and working on '09 to stay in Iraq? A thing called the draft. Damn right I should! I just read that the white house, Rumsy and the pentagonions are throwing around a little thing called the draft. That's why I worry. I've been through the draft lottery, not fun. Ask that guy many of us call Mark. Would the powers to do it DO IT !? That's the billion dollar a day question. I only wish I had an answer...
OK, now that I got that off my chest, just think happy thoughts! That's an order!
OH, the weather guy 'down' there says its going to just be peachy! Maybe I'll get sunburned. Oh, can we afford to do this this year? That would be going to TX. Well we decided that with the freebies we're getting because of what happened last year, we can't afford not to go. It may be our last chance too. Watch out fishies! Love you all... Oh and Nick, take the job. How long can you wait for the perfect one?!
