Ya know, a lot of Americans tend to forget, or ignore, or are ignorant of, the fact that people are basically the same everywhere. We all have the same hopes, desires, fears, and anxieties.
I know that I don't have to say, but be careful.
People are people are people.

Luckily for us, we haven't lost anyone to enemy fire, but a good friend of mine took his own life a week ago.

Why? At home or in Iraq?
He was back in the States. I replaced him a the Platoon Leader. He was good guy, but I'm not gonna mix words, he was crazy. He thought the Soldiers were bugging his house and had really bad paranoia. He wanted to deploy, but after some veiled threats, my Commander realized he was just too unstable. The Army was in the process of chaptering him out, and last week he went out for a walk and never came home. Pulled out a 9mm a few blocks from his house and did it right on the corner of the street.
What irks me the most was I was the only guy who could talk to. He thought everyone else was out to get him, but he'd only talk to me. I just feel if had I been able to talk to him, I could have prevented it.
