He's good, thanks. A bit more optimistic than I'd like, but he's a cocky little feller.
Spike to a mate over there in Kabul last night over the phone and he said that they are already in danger with IED’s every day
I've heard the same.
Petraeus said it was a crap idea though and I'd tend to believe him.
Send my best wishes, Gunny. And know I’m not doing this to hurt him. Only the enemy wants to hurt him.
My mate comes home in 11 days and sounded down over there.
He was in Iraq and actually prefers Iraq to Kabul plus he is missing his family a great deal right now.
You know how it is when you serve overseas, sometimes we have the blues from time to time.
Anyway I’m off for a drink or 10 so I wish your lad well.
