Is your alma mater in central North Carolina?

Also, I was watching some cable news show yesterday, and I was just reminded of how swimmingly things are going in Iraq, how fantastic the progress must be, as they reported on the search for those 3 missing soldiers in the, and I quote, "Triangle of Death."

Triangle of Death!?! When can I vacation there?!?

I just talked yesterday to an old enemy/friend of mine who did a year in Iraq. We used to be friends a couple years ago and then he did some messed up crap and I hated him. I've since grown and forgiven him, so I wanted to call him up and make sure he was ok.

The stories he was telling me about Iraq were just insane, and he was in Ramadi, which wasn't that bad of an area compared to others.

He was in a tank division and he said there wasn't a day that one of their tanks didn't get hit by a roadside bomb. The good thing is those roadside bombs wouldn't do jack to a tank. He had 42 men under him and was able to bring them all home safe.
