That's the very essence of "she who must be obeyed" - a pretty smile and a mean-looking gun. ;-)
Your family is doing more than its fair share, Kate. I wish them all the best.
Thanks abi.
This deployment leaves my 2 y/o grandson w/o either parent. Family values from the Pentagoons. I'm hearing the first rumblings in the ranks.
Comments such as 'going to give the brothers a break ... but next time ... go to jail or Mexico.
The PTB best be building up their "international peacekeeping" forces as the ranks are growing very disgusted, and somewhat wiser.
Your daughter-in-law is beautiful young woman! - and nobody's fool according to my interpretation of the photo.
My Number One Son recently had R&R, which led to a comedy routine about the R&R money-sucking machine that dogs the soldiers on their trip. Coming home from Iraq, there were several stop overs at airport phone banks (a 100 mins AT&T card gets you 10 mins long distance at the AT&T phone bank); and souvenier shops ("No thanks, Son, no souvenier from Ireland for me; my temper is souvenier enough"). They flew him in kinda close...a 6-hour round trip pickup. Luckily, he flew out local, but then again, they were extra-anxious to ensure his return. No souvenior stops on the way back, he was back on the job in no time (after a quick stop at the AT&T phone bank in Kuwait).

kate long time no see due to medical problems. My son is departing from ky tomorrow for Iraq. What is the best way to communicate with your family in Iraq? I am wondering if skype or some of the other voip systems work over there.
hi barryg,
missed you. I'm not sure everyone has access to voip but it is there.
With my family, including nephews, sons, etc. they seem to have generally good and frequent access to email and phones.
My youngest yesterday called from Al Asad and says the installation there has rooms the size of a Wal-mart with p.c.'s and phones, etc. for the troops.
I think frequency of access to communications and how high tech will depend on location in Iraq, type of unit, MOS, rank, etc. But it's much much better now than in 2003, thanks to all the massive installations we've built for our "temporary" stay in "liberating" Iraq.
I'll keep you and yours with safe thoughts.
Thanks Kate for the Information, We will keep you and yours in our hearts.

Supposedly said as a nasty jab at General Alexander Haig. Imagine what Herr Kissinger thinks of rank and file.
Sounds like something Henry the pig would gravel and grunt out, but considering the quote's source was Woody and Berny doing their assigned op - I'm not certain of anything anymore unless hearing it with my own ears.
