Be careful, Bill. I have several friends in Iraq, and I'm none too happy about it, but so far they've all come home safe. Watch your back and come home safe - this is not a cause worth dying for IMHO.

Why threaten Bill?

I didn't mean to be threatening at all. I meant I wanted him to be careful, like my friends in Iraq. I guess my comments were inartfully worded, but you've read pretty much the polar opposite of what I meant into them. I have edited them for a bit more clarity.

Frankly I thought most members as senior as you know I served in the AF for six years, during most of my tenure here - the last thing I'd do is threaten a service member, especially for no particular reason.

God bless you! Thank you very much for your service. I have a friend who's finally out, after three trips over. It's wonderful to have him home safely. I hope all goes well for you while you're there.

Update - Here I am, and what lovely weather it is outside. They have wireless internet here for like $60 a month, but its painfully slow.

Always has to be at least one asshat in every thread.

Anyhow, I wish you well TallBill.
