KUGELBLITZ


I work for the U.S. Army, rather a lot some days. As a green civilian, myself and other fols are watching the various conflicts with much interest, for a variety of reasons (professional and personal) and, even more importantly, because some of our co-workers are in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I recently found out that a friend and coworker of mine, a SM named Eli Godbolt was wounded while working on a project I am involved in. Currently I only know he was wounded by mortar shrapnel in the legs, and that he is not dead. Which is good.

I have all opf this wierd energy though. I mean my buddy is shot up, and I can't DO anything about it. I had a similar feeling way back when when I saw the movie "Schindler's List". I came out of the theater (with my Jewish girlfriend) and I had alol of this really strange energy going on-I wanted to do something but I could not figure out what that was. So I just stayed stressed out, by it, as I am now.

This isn't a plea for help, I don't need it. Other folks sure do, though, and my thoughts are with Eli's family right now, awaiting a more detailed response from the green machine.

I guess to avoid the possibility of wasting any of Haken's bandwidth I should infer that any survivors of a conflict could or would bve flashing on some very intense feelings from time to time, that may not be logically connected to whatever they are doing.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


I know that "wierd energy" thing you are trying to explain Kuge.

I was in the Rangers for 8 years, and everytime I hear someone I know has been wounded or killed I get that same feeling. It doesn't even have to be someone I know; if they are a Ranger and are WIA or KIA, it tears at me.
