God continue to bless and protect our troops.
My wife is on many military forums. One of her "buddies" is a mom that had a chance to speak to her son, he's in Iraq and yesterday a suicide bomber got dangerously close. No troops were injured but it freaked everyone out. (I think the bomber blew himself up as he was getting caught, but I can't listen to exact details for I'm an ostrich.)
I have a son-in-law in Afghanistan (Marine) and a Son in South Korea (Army).
My son will be going to Iraq in September. Some people in an effort to be comforting say “At least it’s not Afghanistan.” It is of no comfort whatsoever. My worry is that things will heat up as we are drawing down and the last of our forces there could become embroiled in a nightmare. I have little confidence in this arrogant administration. I am furious that the press does not question this administration on anything. And am sad that so many Americans are oblivious.
