Reality Check

An Army infantry gunner contemplates:

I had to pull radio watch in the War Room last night, and somebody left a copy of the April edition of People Magazine there. So on radio watch, I read how Survivors Rob and Amber are in Love, Kelly Osborne is in Rehab, Omaarosa has a suprising past, and how Reese Witherspoon and hubby Ryan Phillippe bought a house in Los Angeles for 4.9 million. And you know what, after reading that magazine, for a split second, I was glad I was here in Iraq, and not back in America

That is GREAT! Dont we have our priorities mixed up? 5 million for a HOME? And our nations heros struggle on a salary that can barely get them by.
Thanks for the grin for the day..Keep up the good work over there, the men and women of our military! P.S. The Tampa morning paper ran a great story (a positive one) on the rebuilding of Iraq and how grateful the Iraqians are to the military helping.
