The war in Iraq
I don't believe it's started yet, but "The war in Iraq" was the only title I could think of. Anyway, I haven't been too concerned with it up to this point. I don't know that I support it, but I don't want to be the victim of chemical or nuclear warfare either. However, it became pretty personal today when I received an e-mail from one of my best friends.
For those of you who didn't already know, I was recently activated and deployed to Kuwait on the seventh of February. Obviously I had to withdraw from school and could be here for up to a year. However, this is very unlikely and I'm speculating and hoping that out unit will be sent home in either May or June.
....
I'm stationed at Al Jaber Air Base approximately 45 miles northwest of Kuwait City. As you can imagine the base in a very busy place right now with units from all four service braches present, along with a small contingency of British troops. I can't disclose too much information about the resources in place or our mission, but I can tell you the base is well fortified and protected. I'm sorry I didn't get in touch with some of you before I left. I had a very limited amount of time between the time I was notified and actually deployed, and was very busy taking care of personal affairs.
Yikes! Now I really hope we don't go to war!
