Too many decision makers leads to indecisiveness. As usual, everyone has agreed on what to do about Darfur - absolutely nothing. A token multinational force has been sent in to stand by and watch the slaughter continue. The weird thing is that this link is from the belly of the beast - Al Jazeera. Even they realize that ACTION is needed. On a more pleasant note, I actually squeezed in a short trip to the gym today - my first in the 2 months or so that I have been here. I can't tell you how good it felt to do some PT. I missed it. I must find more time. I know I have some stashed somewhere around here....
First post here, but won't be the last as long as you keep it up. Good to see some people who are optimistic about the mission for a change. I'm a civilian doing GIS mapping for Fort AP Hill in Virginia, and it's really interesting to know a bit more about what the soldiers coming through here on their way to Iraq are experiencing now. I see them all over our ranges, driving their Strykers, etc through the base, but don't know any of their stories. Nice to finally read one that is both eloquent and uplifting. Good stuff.

Greetings,
I just wanted to thank you for the free air I breathe and the honor of waking up a US citizen. Everything all you soldiers do is for us and I am grateful. Please take care and know that many of us are praying for your safe return.
God Bless all of you!

Greg,
We miss you big time Bro!
Keep up the good work.
Amigo, you say you are not getting PT, but I bet that you are getting quite a bit chasing around those terrorists.
