4 Days of Rest & Relaxation

Back in the saddle now that I have had four days off from the constant grind. It is quite amazing what sleep can do for a person. I realized this when I stopped in to work on Sunday to teach a class to our new EWO's. My colleagues sat at their desks with obvious fatigue in their faces and demeanor. Orto said i could come back on Tuesday and make fun of the tired people in the office. I replied, "No way! Y'all are tired, cranky, and heavily armed!"

My days were spent rolling out of bed around noon, grabbing a bite to eat at the dining facility, visiting with my Ugandan friends, working out at the gym, hanging out at the Morale tent checking email, grabbing some dinner, calling home, and then back to my trailer to read the book 1776. I did accomplish the complete cleaning of my trailer by sweeping and mopping, arranged my gear for turn in when I arrive in Kuwait, and packed a few boxes to ship home.

The war continued without me with tragic results and great violence. Just as the War on Terror has reared its head with the plot to blow up the fuel depot for JFK airport. The fight is not dead no matter where we go. We hadn't dealt with any terrorists from Trinidad...thus the term Global in the Global War on Terror.

Until next time, when I should have some pictures to share, God Bless America!

Oh, does that mean John Edwards' statement "The Global War on Terror is just a bumper sticker slogan." is not correct? Won't he and so many of his buddies in the anti-war movement be surprised to find out there are people ALL OVER THE WORLD who want to kill us, and you can't change the jihadists' minds no matter how much you try to appease them. But, Edwards and Company obviously didn't get the message because not one of them raised their heads to comment on the JFK plotters. Surprised? Not! May God richly bless and protect all who serve. We love you.
