last friday I just found out my cousin is going back to iraq for a second time WTF???? So I haven't been in a talkitive mood lately ( he's a fmr sniper in the U.S. Army rangers he left in 2000) then after 911 he did a pmc stint trying to teach the iraqi army sniper skills as soon as the war was over and there was an I.A., then it was 2 pmc stints in afganistan as a body guard for hamid karsi where one time was was on the same street where fellow body guards were killed by a car bomb attack that tried to kill karsi. Now he was supposed to go do pmc stuff in isreal but instead he quits his firm and is headed back to iraq to do pmc stuff wtf???? does evey male member of my family have like a death wish or self destructive tendency thing going on or what???

Sometimes guys feel more alive when they are closest to death. Your cousin has his reasons. If his mind is made up, support him. If he does his best, concentrates and is alert while over there, which he will be, he'll be fine. If he gets caught by a car bomb, then its just bad luck. He must want to go support his friends that are still over there

That is too bad. The whole war is unfortunate. War hasn't worked in the entire history of human civilization.

We Are All One...the only idea that can ever provide lasting peace and healing.

Stare at your enemy long enough...and you'll see yourself staring back
