I just found out that my old roomate is heading over to Iraw in a few weeks. He was almost out of the guard; had only a few months left to go when they called him up. He had finally started to get his life into order; he was doing something he loved(teaching), was living in a place he loved(California) and things were beginning to look up for him when the call came. To make matters worse, he was trained in the Michigan Gaurd which is largely a Support Unit, but is being sent in as an infantry man.

I honestly don't know how to feel about it all. On one hand I'm worried about him; we had our fights over the past year, but we generally always got along well. On one hand I want to aympathise with him, but I can't, because I'm staying here and he's....not.

Its a fucked up situation, all because we have a fucked up President who cares more about his poll numbers and remaining in power, than he does for the good American boys and girls who he's sending to their deaths every damn day of the week. If anything happens to Joel, i will hold that texas dipshit responsible. Kerry already had my vote, of course, but now he has me 100 percent.

Bah, this is so fucking shitty I can't even put it into words.
