This morning when I was watching the news, there was lots of coverage on the war. Democrats are pushing for a specific date for the troops to come home, which probably wont happen because George Bush sucks ass, but I wish it would. Before my brother-in-law left for Iraq in March, he talked about how no part of him supports the war, but that he needs to go over there to protect the troops and that he wanted to help get people back to their families safely. Today a man in his unit was hurt and may need to have his arm amputated. Thank goodness he is alive, but this hits close to home. On TV its sad to hear about casualties but this makes me realize that Tom is really not safe. In fact he told my sister he feels scared (and Tom doesn’t scare easily). I don’t know what to say to my sister when she is upset about this stuff, because I just don’t know that it will be okay.
Maybe I will work at a VA hospital when after I graduate. I don’t know … I just hate this stuff.
Im almost done with Grad school. Capstone is next Friday. Major life changes coming soon!
