What are the troops saying...do they think we will be pulled into thi?s........my son Jonathan leaves for Iraq this summer and he will be close to the Iranian border..

Nobody knows...we can only watch and fervently hope that Iran and Syria don't jump into it. The troops are pretty much like the rest of us...just waiting to see. There is some preparedness going on, though. Checking bunkers, getting a few more in place, stocking up on MREs....things we've gone through before, though.

Mostly, everything's just kind of "business as usual" around here for now.

God bless Jonathan. I'll keep him in my prayers for our troops.

Thanks Allegra....I am already a nervous wreck and he hasn't even left yet......Mike left so fast that I didn't have time to think, but that was in 03 for the invasion...now with these rotations you have 6months to start worrying.....
