so my brother just went to Afghanistan...

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

and I've never hated this country more.

Please don't give me that "I'll pray for him" crap...that's exactly the sort of nonsense that got us there in the first place, thanks to that great Texan of ours.

I wish we both had joined the French Foreign Legion and kissed this losing proposition of a country goodbye. I've still got a few years to do that, but my brother, prolly not so much, eh?

Thanks to all the brainwashed masses who think there's some point to it all.

Hang in there, Dread Pirate.
Not sure what to say except that I like the way you think, and remember there are more of us than it sometimes seems.

This must be a very difficult time for you and your family. I hope that your brother stays safe.
