I appreciate the prayers Brendan, but don't be worrying about me mate. I've got enough scars and grey whiskers to prove I've been around the block a time or two. Besides, there's pluses to the deal, I've not had a proper cup of English tea since Desert Storm.
Only thing that's got me concerned is all the "irregular" fighting going on. It was kind of spooky in Afghanistan where the enemy doesn't wear uniforms and anybody could be the enemy. Ask Pappy, and some of the other 'Nam vets about operating in a place where you got to treat everybody like a potential threat to your very life. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have any problem giving a fellow a few more orifices than mother nature did if I have to. I'm just worried about innocent folks getting caught in the middle of it, and naive troops falling victim to enemies that look like friends.
