While there will certainly be more casualties, the potential for mass "war" injuries and deaths is over -- at least according to the President.

Not picking on you, DA... but, when I looked at the date of that post, I was floored. May this situation be resolved in '07 so that our soldiers can get back home.

It is sad indeed as we lose more and more men and women in the armed forces.

I am sure there have been members of GLOs who have died in not just one place Iraq but the other war Afghanstan. My Chapter has been lucky so far, 2 back and still two over there.

May they all come back safe.

While we all would like this to be over, if we and the other countrys of democracy do not make a stand here, we will live with it forever.

On the plane today, I sat by a young Army man, who had tried college and didn't like it; and then had tried work, but didn't like it; and was within six months of the end of his Army service - currently as a supply guy in Afganistan.

He had been flying for four days, and was about to surprise his family in Springfield with a Christmas visit. In 15 days, he had to be back in Afganistan.

What a great surprise.

After the Army, he plans to enroll at Eastern Ill.
