" My fiance is in iraq and yea i get all worried sumtimes but i dont really freak out like that cuz its better to think positive. Now my bestfriend has been shipped there to finish his tour cuz he got injured and i bawled my eyes out for like days cuz it worries me he t injured and he mite come back worse. My point is always think positive and good thoughts about them-dont rule out the possibility-just be supportive and optomistic about it and everything would be easier :) "

" Very few colonels and even fewer generals get killed over there. they are usually too far from the action. My nephew was over there twice and on his second tour he was were all the brass are and never even hear a gunshot the whole time he was there. I would not worry too much about your brother. Just keep in touch with him and things should be OK. Best wishes and prayers. "

" The G.I. Bill is a wonderful thing and he should look into ways of using it. I wish I had taken part in it when I had a chance, but my old G.I. Bill ran out over 20 years ago. I have been out now for about 26 years now and have no education benefits to use. Your brother should use his. "
