reality, if it is at all.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000080" size="4" face="Candara">My 22 year-old son recently spent
15 months in Iraq and he has stories about the silliness of questioning soldiers
carrying emptied and/or loaded weapons. Sometimes you just have to wonder
what happened to balancing security concerns with common sense.

time) that a trusted American soldier murdered his fellow soldiers in cold blood
on Army base on American soil. So maybe a little discretion regarding
soldiers and weapons should be exerted. But in the story Siarlys shared,
it went too far.</font></font></div>
<div><font color="#000080" size="4" face="Candara">By the way, my son is now
a sergeant in the US Army and we are very proud of him. He is an
unmanned aerial vehicle operator and loves his job. Best of all, he and
his wife of 4 years have provided us with a grandson who is now a one year-old
and a granddaughter due to arrive in February.</font></div>

would feel to live in a country where security is really high (like Israel)
because we have always flexed our freedom muscles.</font></div>
