Pretty much everything that he had seen and done. Yes, very scary. I spend a LOT of time in hub-airports - and see a lot of soldiers coming and going...and it is very hard to see these young (and sometimes not so young) men and women going to that awful, terrible place on our behalf... it is just so damn hard sometimes...especially when their wives and children get to go to the gate to seem them off to whatever the future holds for them - may we never see them on the news.
In the airports, if they have sand on their boots and suitcases, they are coming home - if not, they are headed to a place we do not want to imagine.
Viet Nam Vet from TX who hates Bush.
P.S. They actually make the soldiers in uniform take their boots off going thru airport security. How messed up is THAT!!!? What are they fighting for anyway?
