The Truth - I have to agree with everything that you said.

My father was on a submarine during the Cold War. Needless to say, we would go a month or longer with no communication (no mail or phone calls) with him or the sub. Luckily, nowadays, soldiers have access to things like cell phones and computers. I will never forget the Christmas someone bombed a church in Italy, where my dad's sub was docked. Scared the he** out of us, not to mention all the phone calls my mother received from the other wives. it was almost three-four hours before we heard from my Dad to say everyone was okay.

I know it is a totally different situation, but that kid had every right to be pissed off. I don't live in that school district, but my blood was BOILING as they reported it here in Hampton Roads, the largest military base in the US.
