On June 15, army private Robert Frantz of San Antonio mailed a letter home to his mother. He apologized to her for not writing more often, explaining the time constraints of 12-hour guard shifts plus daily patrol duty. And then he
wrote: "Someone shot at us last night. I was getting ready to go to sleep and I hear a pop, pop, and then the bullets ricocheted off the building right outside the window I was standing in front of. . . . It kinda sucks, when all you can think about is there's someone out there trying to kill you or your buddy next to you, and all you can do is hope you kill them first." Robert, 19, was killed two days later when he was struck by a grenade.

First off thank you Robert Frantz for you duty to country, and I hope that what ever you believed you are in that place now.
Now, he VOLUNTEERED for the military, and was in a combat MOS (military occupational specicality) what did he think was going to happen to him? Maybe a tour of traveling the world handing out flowers?
How many letters to mommy do you think were written over the ages stating the same thing?
If you want to get your anti-war messege across you must have to install somewhere in the article some poor soul in a combat zone writing his mommy saying he is afraid to die and then being killed.
Its getting old.
