Reporter IN Iraq
This is the older brother to my best friend. I've known him since 1990
Two weeks ago I caught him on IM via satellite phone. He was uploading some pictures....and he was currently in Turkey waiting to get into North Iraq. Iin the past two years he's been to Pakistan (a week after 9/11), and Afghanistan, and the west bank. I don't talk to him a whole lot but he loves what he does.
But interesting enough, when I caught him on IM.....I asked him if he was worried at all....and if he was going to get out of dodge when the bombing started........and he said....no we have our flack vests..and chem suits. I don't expect it to be much worse then Afghanistan or the west bank.
Wonder what he'll say now. Man, If I had kids....there's no way I could do that....it'd be hard enough risking my life in the military if I had kids, and i'm a patriotic SOB.
