162. I'm so sorry, dude.
It breaks my heart so hear of so much hopelessness among these poor souls who never should've gotten sent into Iraq in the first place. We've all read, I believe, of the higher rate of suicides during this and Afghanistan.

Then again, there are wingnuts who keep downplaying this because these suicides like your cousin comprise only a tiny fraction of the total force. Well, I would imagine that that number looks a helluva lot larger when you lose your dearest flesh.

So, again, allow me to offer my inadequate condolences.

George Bailey
