Short notice. He knew it was coming, and was preparing for it, but still....

Robert's getting shipped out on the 20th. Mom's message didn't say, but probably Iraq. Will update when I know for certain.

*thinks* Damn. And he's not even 20 yet.

Robert's your brother?

Yep. David (my other brother) is in Kosovo, coming back the end of September. Robert's my 'kid brother.'

Oh that sucks. Well, he's trained for it so he's ready, but that doesn't mean you're singing and dancing about it, right? But maybe everything will go well and he'll come back okay in a matter of weeks. I'm behind our troops, even if their commander in chief is a moron.

I even supported the war in theory - I just figured it'd go terrible in practice. Well hope he gets shipped to Kosovo instead of Iraq.
