Thanks guys, I'm pretty much over the shock, and all the guys are okay, they shipped one of them home, he has a crack in his vertabrae but he will be good to go after a couple of months in a neck brace. I am worried about my troop though, he's not doing so good mentally. I have known this guy for a little over 3 years and he's about as gung ho of a soldier that I have ever met, he's been in Iraq 3 times - voluntered to go back over less than 6 months after his 1st deployment, and was there for 4 months and went out again in November. He has been through some crazy stuff including getting a concussion from a mortar that exploded too close to their Humvee and knocked him silly during his first deployment. He pulled his IV out and left AMA so he could get back to his guys. Its just really disturbing that he is really rattled this time, He just got married while he was on leave and he promised his wife he would come home and now he doesnt want to go back out. He volunteered for a convoy run yesterday because he was going stir crazy and it completely freaked him out... He only has a little over 3 months left, I just hope he can hang in there. I feel pretty helpless. of course you know me, I always want to fix things and there is no way I can fix this for him.
