Re: [RC] complicated politics in Iraq and the carribean and 3rd world count... - Mary Ann Spencer
Hi Sylvia,
Thank you. The next time I go to Iraq, which
will be within the next yr, I am going to try to obtain a horse or two for the
soldiers so we can have a little bit of something besides working 14 or so hours
a day. Not sure how to get the feed but many soldiers took in cats,
kittens, puppies and dogs and nice folks in US mailed feed for
them. There are horses pulling work carts so hope to be able to
get one, security permitting. Many things could not be done due to
security. There is NO walmart there. EVERYTHING has be
scheduled, including mailing a package home. Mailing is an all day
thing as have to convoy to Baghdad airport and hope the mortars don't go that
day. There is always small arms fires. Sounds a lot like a busy
hunting season in TX. We were not allowed most everything that is
taken for granted in US. It could have been worse, we were not gased with
anthrax or any chemicals. As there is still a chance of bad attacks
in US, be aware that if there are no flies around a dead animal, it was
poisoned. Reality in other places can be weird. Mary
