My Buddy Scud visits Kuwait
Here's another great letter from former Guam Resident Michel "Scud" Escudie
Just filthy rich and very hospitable those Kuwaitis. And very good to U.S. Forces, because our presence is pretty much the alligators in their moat. It was sad to hear them tell us that with Saddam done, they hope to found out what happened to more than 600 POWs who dissappeared during and after the 1990-91 Iraqi invasion.
I'm no expert, but've come to appreciate that Iraq is only part of current concerns we share. A more unstable region due to troubles in neighboring Iran or Saudi Arabia would be a bad thing for us all. Other smaller countries could cause a dust-up too...don't even want to think about it.
So, here I am squinting at the sun, not thinking about international relations, missing you, and asking one of the sergeants with us to snap a picture just before we left the Intl Airport for the flight back to our HQ.
Much Love, Michel
