Well for those of you who dont know me I am a Marine who was just recently deployed to Iraq. I was just going to let everyone know that I am doing fine. Its so hot over here though I cant stand it. I should be back in a few months. I will try to log on once a day or so to read my messages and this post. I wish I had the time to play all my cases but thats not very likely. Well I will chat with you all later.

To AL Z...that comment says it all! Thank you for that!

Whether I support the war or not is my own personal opinion, but I have friends and loved ones over there and I do not appreciate it when I here of someone getting bad comments about their being a soldier in Iraq. They cannot help that they were deployed to go to Iraq! If you think the war is bad just by the facts that you get from the news...then shame on you! I know tons of good things that are currently happening and that have been occurring over there. You cannot go by what the news tells you because they will never tell you the good things only the bad!

To the ppl that pm'ed Charlie...you are not over there! You do not see the faces of the ppl that chear them on as they fight for not only OUR freedom and privileges but for those of the many unfortunate men, women, and children who have no choice or say in the matter of their dailey lives. Some of my friends who are there now are currently working with the law inforcements, the doctors, and so on to better their education of their jobs. So that they are able to do there job to the fullest of their ability! So the next time that you want to bad mouth what is going on over there...think before you speak! Instead of insulting the many soldiers like Charlie, you need to be praying for them to come home safely to there family and friends! I know from personal experience that it is horrible having a loved one over there knowing that they cannot come home whenever they want to!

Charlie...I hope you continue to stay on here and sleuth! Do not let these small-minded individuals drive you away! Stay with us! STAY SAFE!

To all my friends out here in sleut land. I just wanted to say thanks alot for the kind words. Now after long thought and talking some to Ben I have decided to stay and be more active in the community. I havent been real active lately due to my deployment but that will be ending soon and I can go home and finally end my days of fighting once and for all. Now for those of you who dont know me you will for those of you who know me I am sorry and for those that dont like me take a number and wait in line. Ben I know I asked you to delete my persona here thank you for not doing it. I originally did decide to leave last week but I have since then changed my mind when I could not bear the thought of giving up the friends I have on here Della, Reese, Ran, and Breitkat plus the others out there you know who you are. So Charlie is announcing his return to duty. Thanks to you all I will be back soon and solving cases after a few days of rest.

I'm as anti-war as they come but even I know the difference between bitching at some random kid who's been sent over there and actually doing something politically effective. Don't yell at the soldiers, yell at their commanders!

Charlie, I'm glad you weren't hurt. However, there's a good chance that while you were there, you saw some other people hurt really really badly, am I right? Violence is a funny thing - it inspires violent reactions, which might have something to do with why some people sent you nasty pm's. For your own sake, I hope that you didn't lose anyone you really felt strongly about while you were there. But if you did, and it hurts, I would invite you to communicate that pain to the persons who were responsible for putting people in the line of fire.

I don't know what anyone could say after that excellent and stirring statement by Al Z - but I have to add my two cents worth here:

Motor Vehicle Accidents are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Ever time you put your child in a motor vehicle you are putting your child "in harms way." My point in this is that those of you pointing your fingers need to realize that there are four more pointing right back at YOU!!

Charlie - thank you for your willingness to serve your country and protect our right to freely post all the thoughts shared here. God bless you and come home safely!!!
