So long my dear friend…
My buddy is leaving for Afghanistan today.
Actually,he leaves today for training then he’ll be deployed on the 26th.
I’m nervous for him.
To him this is just a job.He loves what he does.He is just obeying commands.
He is a soldier and thats what soldiers do.They obey commands.Orders.
Soldiers do what they are told to do.He can’t say no.
When his country says it needs him,he asks where and when and packs his bags.
I don’t understand this war.
I don’t support it.I’m not against it.I simply don’t understand it.
There is so much he said-they said stuff going on that its hard to figure out exactly who is saying what and what the truth about anything really is.
But I support my friend.
And if this is his chosen field,oh well…what can I say?
May the angels be with him.
Its actually weird knowing someone who is going to war.
I guess at the end of the day….
I just want my friend back….in one piece.Alive.
So long my dear friend.
