I take it you have friends serving in Iraq. Hopefully he will now have the sense to get out of the services.

I'm afraid he does not actually have a choice. He still has several years to go and will likely be sent back within the next 18 months. But it is 18 months not in a a scary scary volatile land. So I'm grateful.
Feeling sappy and whatnot. Excuse total lack of humor. Can only conjur up ordinary, run-of-the-mill humor involving sheep and goats. Which is completely inappropriate.

Anyway, hes safe for the moment, and im sure hell be keeping his head down.
