He just told me that matter of factly, as he explained that he was training the guy with him to take his place while he was gone. I said "Aren't you afraid of being killed?" "Nah... I know 25 people who've gone over and come back. Not one killed." I said... "But just the same... why would you want to go fight in THIS war and take a risk like that?" He said "Ya gotta go sometime. Have a nice day, Ma'am."

Ok, so I hated the Ma'am bit, but... jeez... these kids have no idea. Merry Christmas kid.
