My cousin just graduated Boot Camp at Fort Benning.

After Boot Camp he went back home to Philly for 4 weeks. Upon his return, while walking through the Hartfield-Jackson Airport, he was greeting people and telling them "don't vote for George Bush". I thought is was funny, looking at the reaction on people faces. Here is a 17 year old kid, in in Army uniform telling people not to vote for George Bush.

But, to bring this back to more serious note, after he complete his training, will be flying over to Iraq in November.

3. No problem,

He was confused after graduating high school. He and his brother are living with his single mother, and the are having a difficult time making ends meet. So, he felt he had to do something in order to help his mother out.
