Reply #14: I just found out my bro-in-law is going...

...He's an MP in the Air Force.

He volunteered to be part of a group going over to support the Marines (He's in Italy right now.)

My MIL is freaking out. I understand why he's doing this, in a way... he was a foster child, adopted at an older age, and he's always searched for a way to belong, to be a part of something.

But he's only 19.

I hate this damned stupid, pointless, heartbreaking war.


P.S. I just registered to post today. I've been lurking and reading religiously for the past six months...A big thanks to DU for showing me there are still intelligent, empathetic souls out there. Some days, knowing that is all that keeps me going...
