March Self Portrait-Week 2
I love my brother more than I can say. He is the only brother I have. He joined the Army at 18 and is all of 19 right now. He hasn't been sent overseas yet. I am very proud of him and do everything I can to wear the shirt I bought at one of his Army graduations still.
I was against the war in Iraq when it started five years and I am still against it today.
I still haven't figured out how to reconcile these two things.

I have the same problem. I am so against the war, but not at all against our men and boys serving there. They are following the orders given by misguided leaders, and I'm sure many of them have also done a lot of good for the Iraqi people. But it can't be easy being in a country where you are not wanted or appreciated either. I'm glad your brother is safe on American soil, at least for the time being. May he remain safe always. :)

I am still having problems with that too. Jon I gets so pissed because he thinks being against the war means you are against him. He and I had a big discussion about it when he came home at X-mas.
