Life

Hello...i am a young college student...and in todays day...it is tough...all of the financial issues and the extreme lack of money...i suffer from a condition...chronically broke...and with the holidays coming that is not good...My younger brother is coming home for two weeks...He is a PFC in the Marine Corps...i am very proud of him...that was not an easy task to accomplish...but he hung in there...and now...i kind of wish he would have never done it...after Thanksgiving he will go back to his station place...and be shipped off to Iraq...it really ticks me off...my brother and i are close...and i know that he may not come home alive and/or in one piece...and i just cannot figure out why they keep sending our young soldiers off to a war that is not fixing anything. It is another Vietnam...how can we expect to fix their country...when we cannot fix our own...and we are only 229 years old...as opposed to thousands of years old...i say we concentrate on our people and then others...how about Health Insurance for the 44 MILLION that are without it...and how about helping Social Security...these are our grandparents and parents...and eventually us.
