Good reading UT, thanks.
On a side note- The Marine I've been writing to in Faluja says, they're being pulled out in a couple weeks. They're headed stateside, but he volunteered to go to Afghanistan instead. I don't know if just the medical units are going, to replace the Doctors Without Borders, or they want volunteers to replace troops being rotated out. Could be a pre-election (theirs, not ours) buildup of strength.
