My brother's 19-year-old ex-girlfriend is being deployed to Afghanistan. She left yesterday. She is sweet, extremely intelligent, an amazing person, very, very young, and not at all the kind of person who should be or wants to be in the military. President Obama and I get along on most issues, and it's not like I don't understand why he wants to

then why is she in the military?

wow, that sounds really aggressive. my bad. i'm just curious, as we don't have a draft, so people who are in the military -- while they may not want to actually deploy -- are there by choice.

that said, i've had friends in iraq and afghanistan, and it's definitely scary. :(
