I spent one year in the central highlands of Afghanistan. Granted most of the people I was with on my security team were white. I think the only reason there are more white deaths is because white people hold the majority of the combat MOS's (jobs). I am a college student, and was before the war, I volunteered to go overseas. I lost and fiance and brother while I was gone. I returned home for neither funeral, it will engulf your life. I couldn't stand the thought of leaving my comrades. I could care less if Cindy Sheehan wants to protest the war, the war is definitely bad. For me its not about the war, its about the men, and she needs to respect those young men who give it all they got, every day. Then they have to come home to this. Gives me half a mind to go back.
