her patriotic duty The thought of someone trying to kill my sister on a daily basis is not an easy one to accept, but in the very near future that will be her reality. As to who those people might be and what will happen to her are still unknown. All that I know is that she will be thousands of miles from home for over a year in a hostile place. Oh, I'm not dwelling on it that much and from what my sister has said to my parents I don't seem that concerned when I talk with her. That isn't true I just don't see the need to panic or upset her more than she seems to be doing by herself. If I were completely pessimistic I'd see this as a death sentence for her and I certainly don't vocalize that idea. As grim as they might be it could be the truth. People are dying everyday in Iraq and probably Afghanistan too even though that vacation spot doesn't seem to make the local news as much. I couldn't imagine being shot at when I was twenty three. My biggest concern during that part of my life was trying to get a good paying job. Staying alive was not something that required concentration or effort. |
