Writing a GNOME app. More on it later.

Lots of talk about war today.

My friend, an ex-marine, and I were talking about war the other day. I ask him if he was ever afraid of going to war or of dying. "Dude, " he says "I was a fucking marine. We were trained to point guns and fucking kill people. You don't enter the marines and not want to go to war... Invade Iraq? Invade Korea, hell - give us guns and send us into Canada - we really didn't give a shit."

He also pointed out that usually whenever you hear a story about some crazy bastard sniping old ladies from a tower 99% of the time it is an ex-marine.

Got to fear them.
