friends at war

I was wondering how many of you know people that goes out of country to serve and protect theyr country!


I got a friend that is going backto afghant shortly!!! again!


Was wondering if i'm the only one who get nervous about things like this !!!

When I was young enough I had no ideas of the reasons some one would join voluntarily. Or involuntarily. I thought "war" was dumb.

Now at 38 I have grown - I wish I could have joined the Marines to do Marine stuff. I understand now what soldiers have done and what I could do to save the weak and helpless. And I understand that that the life I give would be my only one...

I feel nervous about each and every one that serves my country. They are not my friends, but I wish they could be, so I could somehow give them something of my love for life that might keep them positive at the end.

Be close with your friend.
