My son deploys tonight for a 2nd combat tour...
 

Hopefully on 01/2009. Certainly not before then. Wish him all the best and a safe journey.

May your God(s) watch over him.

And tell him thank you for his service!

God bless
 

and guide him back home to his loving family.



There is no good answer to your question.

I saw a young kid wearing a shirt today that read, "Draft Beer - Not Soliders".

Don't know what makes me think of it for your thread, but anyway... I'll pray for him tonight.

As to your question, "When will enough be enough?" -- I wish I had an answer. We've got ourselves into a mighty tough one with all this. The people that support Bush are simply not willing to admit a mistake, and sadly, young men and women are paying the price for that.

But anyway... seriously, prayer does work. I know it sounds crazy to some folks... but, hey, what can I say.

Can't you put f***ing politics aside for a moment and just wish the man and his son godspeed.

NKowi, our prayers are with your son, as they are with every American man and woman in harm's way.

I have daughters and a son and I know how I'd feel if any of them was in your son's situation.

May you soon be able to hold him and he hold you too.

Thank him for me, please.

Your son and you have the gratitude of myself and my family.

May he come back soon and unharmed.

Of course, our prayers are with him and all those serving here and overseas.

God speed him home safely.

"... When will enough be enough???"

Easy Bud, he asked the question and I gave a him a reasonable answer based on our Commander in Chiefs projection Don't be so pissy. And I did/do sincerely wish all goes well.

First, I am not your bud.

Second, you still chose to make a political statement at a time when Nkowi probably needs moral support, more than anything else. (I do apologize NKowi if I got it wrong).

Last, only you and GD made a political statement out of it. And even GD, to his credit, tempered it.

How about we try and keep *this* one in our hearts?

My comment was not meant to be political, just realistic. I apologize for any unintentional misunderstanding it may have created.

Works for me.

Thank your son and his mother for their sacrifice and service to our country. Thank you for that and the fortitude necesary to allow how him to stand and deliver with dignity.

Enough would be tomorrow if the enemy would put down it's weapons and allow free people to choose the course of their lives.

We are all indebted to you and those like you.

Oye Mojito- La Lengua La lengua...to comida de boca??????
Now go to your room....you need to be a spanked!


Godspeed and may your son be returned safely....
