News from the front

The savages mortared us the other day and they've resorted to using poison gas on each other. The depravity gets worse all the time.

At least I can sip a cup of joe at the PX.

No, it's not . We're just lucky Tedster was stationed away from where it happened. My town of 15,000 just lost a 2nd soldier to Iraq a few weeks ago...I think she was 26.

Personally I`m glad you`re safe and well Tedster. It must be awful out there and as I`ve said before, my son has served in Iraq too, so I understand where you`re coming from.

Please be aware guys. This is a very emotive subject and as such has a potential to turn ugly, as do a lot of these kinds of threads. Should that happen and I sincerely hope it won`t, but if it does, this thread will be closed very quickly.

Regards Howard

i am finding it impossible to find any purpose in the killing of children playing football, other than pleasure for the killers of making the news. people of that persuasion will not get any sympathy vote from me.

Tedster, just a question. When did you move out there, or have you always lived there?
