Soldier Age Issue

I heard this on NPR about the age of our fighting forces in Iraq compaired to other wars. Soldiers in other wars were 18 and 19 years of age who did not have spouses and kids. The folks we are losing in Iraq are established in their communities and have many connections that are broken when they meet God. It always stinks to lose anyone to death (young or old), but when a teacher gets a road side bomb all the kids he taught feel the pain. It really hurts my heart to think about this subject being the bastardized family man that I am.

I had a great Christmas here and I hope you all did the same.
