Hi Mike, I may have mentioned this here before, but I have a friend who went to Vietnam -- at the age of ten in the summer of 1968. No, he didn't fake his age and enlist. <G> He went with his then widowed mother who had taken on a data entry contract job in Saigon. Bear in mind that this was only months AFTER the infamous Tet Offensive, yet Saigon was considered safe enough for civilians to bring their families with them. Would anyone in their right mind consider taking their kids with them to Baghdad while they carry out a civilian contract job - despite all the nut wing rhetoric about how well the surge is working? I'd agree that things have gotten better there, but only marginally better and with a long long way to go. Craig
