Mugwa, I was a wreck for several days because I have a very good friend in the Army, and I was very concerned about what would happen next. Any talk of soldiers in the news made me cry. My friend relocated to another state over the summer, and being so far away makes me feel like a pretty useless friend.

I have recovered most of my brains now, but once in awhile, something will set me off. It's the uncertainty of things that scares me most.

Like ddw said, unless he is in special forces or something like that, he's probably not going to Afghanistan. In the last several days there have been deployments of soldiers just in the States to guard military properties and other interests. Ft. Campbell (in KY) has just sent about 400 soldiers to guard some things in Kentucky and Indiana.

Keep your chin up, and support your friend as he does his duty.

Cheers---

Kim
