Afghanistan ER

“Another note from Mack. It’s rather short:

‘Pretty busy over here; lost some guys to a suicide bomber in the field. These were guys I had just been on the same mission with for 6 days. Then I went back in to check up on things at the aid station. Next day, guys I was just walking with out there were blown to bits by a s_ _ _-a_ _ with an explosive vest. Also three injured. I can't stand the fact that I was with them; then the moment I leave to go back here to work, this thing happens. Memorial service tomorrow.’”

“Do you have any comments, Curmudge?”

“Nothing that isn’t profane, Julie.”
