*****
Going for a bottle of water, I meet the most interesting fellow. His name is Tom and he didn't drive too far to get here. By some kind of luck he got out of the military in the summer of 2001, but he knows lots of soldiers who were still in when 9/11 hit. One of those soldiers, a friend of his, went to Iraq. Back from Iraq, the friend fell into deep depression and was eventually discharged. "They messed him up," says Tom. "And if they messed up my friend, that's not right." So Tom went and bought a brand new digital camera, because his favorite bloggers on the internet want to see more pictures.
"How do we get to camp?" asks Tom. To which I reply, "Come with me, I'll show you." This tent is working great....
