today i sent a box of food to my brother who is fighting in afghanistan for our country. he has lost 15 pounds cause they dont feed them enough. i sent him jerky and cheese and crackers, even a spider web and a fake spider to hang in his tent for festivities even though he cant spend the holidays with us. i feel so bad. we sit on the computer all day talking about what new shoes we got or what kind of skis we have this year while half of our men and women are sitting in the ass hole of the world not knowing if they are going to live to see their family again.

sad.

does anyone else have family overseas?
 
i dont but best wishes to your bro man. doesnt matter what war, or how little i support it, i still wanna see people like him get home safe.
 
have two friends in the marines out there and one in the SEALs. this summer, sent them all care packages. 4 cans of dip, 8 porn mags, bottle of ripped fuel, and some dirty letters in each of them.
 
im sure my brother would have wanted those.

but he would be freaked out if his 16 year old sister sent it to him
 
its cause its always one of three things when i get a chance to talk about them. they ALWAYS bitch and its about not enough dip, not enough new pictures to jerk it to, or they cant stay awake long enough.
 
the majority of NS is so liberal that i kinda doubt many people have siblings in the service or even know anyone in the military.

and the Hustler thing, i know from experience. i sent a playboy and this was the response i got.

"greg, playboys are nice, you see some semi celebrities naked which is EPIC. BUT, there are too many articles. if i wanted articles id ask for a time magazine or some shit. send hustler, i want pics of girls doing bad things to themselves."
 
hahahaha great response.

I had a family friend over there as a firefighter and one of my cousins might go soon
 
two buddies of mine that are in the marines are still there for another 4 months. the SEAL friend is out for another 8. two other friends in the Rangers are shipping out soon. and i have another friend in the 101st shipping out soon as well.
 
i would love to join the Marines or any other form of the military. i cant though. one, im overweight and they could probably never find me a uniform. two, my left leg is 3/8 of an inch shorter than my right and i have horrible eyesight...
 
yea, my eyesight is so bad. im not sure weather if i do join to go through the acad and become an officer or just join up in the good ol fashioned calvery. some of the people scare me tho, just seeing the videos on youtube and in the news some people shouldnt be in the armed forces with a gun.
 
haha like some of the far out people who take everything literally. and try to be the perfect american by living the way they interpret the laws by. just scary stuff in general to say the least about war.
 
My dad was in the first gulf war when i was very young, but he was a pilot and based out of the action and flew overhead to refuel jets in the air, i didnt know what was going on cause i was so small but yeah.
 
my best friends fiancee is there, he seems to be eating quite well...although he did have to bathe from a well in front of aghani men today apparently.
 
"we sit on the computer all day talking about what new shoes we got or

what kind of skis we have this year while half of our men and women are

sitting in the ass hole of the world not knowing if they are going to

live to see their family again."

I hate to be THAT guy... but it is his choice, and everyone elses choice who go to war. I completely respect him, and i feel bad for him and your family since you are separated, but he wasn't forced to sit in the asshole of the world, and he wasnt forced to think about life or death and have skis and shoes be his last priority.

good luck to you and him
 
so your family can be just as worried about you? Why not just save everyone the trouble and stay out of the military?

I hope the OP's brother gets home safely, along with everyone else.
 
lol "the asshole of the world" and my cousin and her husband are in the persian gulf on an aircraft carrier so its harder to send things but when we can we do.
 
"greg, its not the asshole of the world. its the asscrack in the middle of the biggest shithold on the earth damnit. its the place God forgot cause he doesnt want to deal with people killing each other over stupid shit all the time. fuck, get it right moron."

got that this morning from my buddy in the Marines.
 
I live about 30 mins from the sandbox (US navy base) and i see the us navy guys come through here often, word gets round pretty quick when the navy are in here, infact my mate just told me he saw a load of the navy guys from one of the ships in a mall recently, could of been him!
 
i like this idea... one of my closest friends that i met working park crew at my local mountain last year just left for afghanistan. and another one of my best friends from high school leaves october 13th.

and to the thread creator... best of wishes to your brother, yourself, and the rest of your family!

 
thanks for all the support.

my bro is coming back for a couple of weeks.

im pretty excited yet sad cause after his leave he wont see me again for 2 years. its kinda funny that he is in the army and our last name is rambo. he gots lotsa people to ask for pictures with him.
 
MY cousin (like a brother) just got back from ghan, its nerve racking wondering how there doing. I When i'm old enough ( if where still there of course) i'll hopefully be able to join them.

Hope youre brother gets through his tour alright.
 
my mom went to iraq to be on a FFST with the 4th I.D., we used to send her mad shit, like these huge fucking boxes, filled with all kinds of shit, but alot of them never got there, so we would send like 4 or 5 boxes filled with all the same shit, and each one had copies of all the letters we wanted to send.

one time, we sent her this box of video-tapes for her and other guys in her unit to watch and we got a letter back that said

"thanks for the tapes!! i loved the effort but send DVD's next time! it was in excess of 130 Fahrenheit when they arrived, and i opened the box to find a big melted pile of plastic"

then my cousin was stationed in iraq in well, i dunno exactly what he did or who he was attached to, but i know it has something to with tanks, because when he came back he used to always talk about how cool it was to shoot at stuff with the 105mm cannon on the bradley

packages always got to him though, and we used to send him hustlers and cheese...

 
I hope your brother and everyone who is over there gets home alright, its a sketchy and stressful place for sure.

With any luck this stupid war will be over soon and we can start on a new one (no hate directed to anyone but government there).
 
this is a message i got from my dad this morning (im out at college and we quite often emaikl back and forth. its funny, i email with him but talk on msn messenger with my mom and they arent even divorced) and my dad served in vietnam for about 2 years.

"this war has become your version of vietnam. only difference, its not in a jungle, and napalm is no longer legal. they just have deadlier weapons now that can level a town that is a kilometer in diameter."
 
im at fort sam houston texas right now going to school to be a combat medic. im waiting for orders to see where i go. i got two months left of school then its game time. i hope hope hope for something over seas. and i know its dangerous out there right now for our soldiers in afghan and still in iraq. i hope his unit/company has great medics and cant wait for myself to get out there and help out the boys. hooah.
 
im glad there is people out there willing to go and are ready. great job and keep up the good work yo,
