Lauren, you know that's not true! Our earthly destiny may not be pleasant (in fact, we have no promise it won't be miserable), but the One who controls all destinies isn't cruel or heartless. He sent His Son to show us his good will. So buck up, soldier! :)
Many years ago a wise old Aghan Mujahed once told me the mythical story of how God made Afghanistan. "When Allah had made the rest of the world, He saw that there was a lot of rubbish left over, bits and pieces and things that did not fit anywhere else. He collected them all together and threw them down on to the earth. That was Afghanistan" the old man said - Taliban by Ahmed Rashid
I am a LT in the United States Army. This is a blog about my personal experiences while at home and deployed to Afghanistan. I am also a contributing blogger at "Teeth on the Gears" (see the link below) where I blog about military theory and policy.
