DAMN THE NEOCONS all to hell
I was visiting a friend last night, and we were talking outside as I was getting ready to leave. His neighbor's son came over when he saw us-this was about 1 AM. He's 24, in the Marines and leaving at the end of the month for his third tour in Iraq. We got to talking and he mentioned how it was getting to him, which is why he's up and about in the middle of the night. Told us that a lot of times he drives around on the back roads and just hangs his head out the window and screams. What bothers him the most is knowing that the more you go back the less his chances are. He's worried about what it will to to his mother if he gets killed or hurt bad. He can't talk to his dad because his dad is a hard-core repuke.
He's definitely stressed to the max and Uncle Sam is not much help. I just hope that talking to him for about an hour helped. Shook his hand and told him good luck and that I hope this crap ends soon so that he can come home. He thanked me for taking the time to talk to him.

FUCK THEM BASTARDS THAT ARE DOING THIS TO HIM AND THOUSANDS MORE LIKE HIM!

2. Sounds like he has the beginings of PTSD if he needs to scream like that.
