Wow. Goodbye."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

Take care, mate.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

Put that digital camera to use and give us pictures"Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)
"I thought you must be dead ..." he said simply. "So did I for a while," said Ford, "and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. A kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic."

I'm envious of you Oerdin. You at least have some idea what your future holds. My guard unit is stuck in limbo for another month. Our last deployment was cut short for some reason and now we are waiting to see if we get a homeland security assigment, get sent to Iraq with a few thousand of our fellow arkansas guardsmen who are leaving in the next month, or wait here for the next round of deployments. And to think i signed up for three more years of this.
It's all together fitting that when I wanted to go overseas we stayed in oklahoma, and that I figure that since I have met someone that I can see myself getting married to, I will end up going.
Anyway, you have my army ako email address so keep in touch. Who knows, we may end up in the same fanatic filled funland sometime.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

Man, that sucks!
18+1 months from the best years of your life wasted for no good reason, just because some moron cheated in the last Presidental election.
One army deployment around the age of 20 is something every man should go through, as long as it's in peace time or a volontary peace keeping mission. But being re-deployed at 25 (or whatever age you are) just because your country is wasting resources on a war of agression is totally crazy.
Stay safe, and don't shoot any innocent civilians just because they don't speak English (such things happen quite often). If you kill a man, his ghost will come back to haunt you in your nightmares even if he was a terrorist who was really asking for it, not to mention the agony you will go through if you later find out he was innocent.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students
Be kind to the nerdiest guy in school. He will be your boss when you've grown up!

Well good luck, Oerdin... I hope all is safe for you.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
