The US just lost a couple more in a helicopter crash recently in Afghan. I say the war is done, bring them home now! I served in Iraq in 2007 so I have the right to say end it! My condolences for your loss!

I've still got one friend serving over there...a Major in the army and a SubSim member.

I know that but when Steve pointed it out on Skype a few minutes ago with a comment about "bad timing" I couldn't resist
