Have gotten several calls from folks I served with in Afghanistan. Hardly more than kids then, now they have kids themselves, kids they are worried about having to advise whether or not to join up not too far down the road if -- no, when -- this Iran thing drags on and on. Hope it doesn't, but if history is any guide.... We talk, remember where we were when the Twin Towers fell, what we thought about it. How it's affected our lives in ways we never would have imagined. Talk about Tora Bora and how twenty years later we were still in Afghanistan having accomplished nothing at all.
Will these wars never end?
Well, what can you do but dance away the days and forget the world? Might as well.
I suppose I should write something worth reading. I will one of these days. But not right now.
