You have a much better chance to survive in Iraq than you do most major cities in the US.

That really does not matter. He made a commitment to the Military when he signed up and it is not his place to pick and choose the missions he goes on, like they would let anyone anyway.

Kind of a moot point don't you think?

what drugs are you on?

Go to see her personally. Wear your dress uniform - spit and polish. When she asks why you are wearing it, tell her because you wanted to tell her something important. Act proud and be excited to go. It will be harder for her if she thinks you are worried.

You are an Infantryman. Head high and back straight. You are representing hundreds of thousand of infantry men who have gone before you. Be direct. Be strong. Lead the way.

Yep....not true.

However I wonder if the odds of dying will even out since so many are deployed.
Average number of deaths per year (active duty/ all causes) is around 2000.

Probably not but just a thought.

Yeah, people are getting captured by the masses and beheaded all the time in most major cities. :roll:

Tell her in person, if possible. Sooner, the better.

Good luck to you and hope you return safely.

Does this mean you'll be selling all of your computer hardware for really cheap?

Good luck over there and we hope you get back safe. Try to post pics and post when you can, a lot of us would be interested to hear about it.
