I am impressed with those soldiers. I don't know how the tour thing works exactly, but if I thought my tour was up after fighting under awful conditions in a desert and I was told that I would have to stay an additional two months or so--twice!--I would probably have a mental breakdown!

I mean, have you ever endured something horrific, too awful to imagine, knowing that the end is in sight, that you are soon to get some relief and maybe have a slice of pizza, only to learn that you have to endure it a little longer? I can't even imagine what it must be like for those men and women whose only sense of hope comes from getting to go home.
