... a nephew left for the middle east a few days ago, he was unable to give his destination or duration, but laughed as he said he was 'Fedex-ing' something to bin Laden (so he ain't going to California!). He flys a stealth (the bat-looking ones) and he is in the special ops. This is a NO-BULLSH*T group, I am scared. He is not. He has trained for this for a long time and has been in Bosnia, Gulf war, and other 'troubled areas' of the world, so this isn't new to him. It amazes me that we have the ability to fly from North Carolina to the middle east and back non-stop, refueling several times over the ocean. I wish he was coming right back, but I think he will be there for a while thia time. He is only one of many wish them well. All of them.
