than waiting for weeks or months on end for your husband to deploy--it hangs over the family like a cloud and puts a bittersweet taste into even happy moments. This is no gift, just more of the same old shit. If the Iraq War were over, most of these guys would be home, having dinner with their families every night, and attending their sons' baseball games, and sleeping in with their wives on Saturday mornings. I feel for these newly alerted guys--I know what it's like, and our turn is surely coming around again.
