Goth, why jump to conclusion before you have the facts?

Every fire, explosion, bus crash, train wreck, liqour store robbery and soiled diaper isn't automatically a "terrorist plot".

And before you get on with the Canada bashing, one of my nephews is currently in Afghanistan and I am extremely Proud of him (although I worry about him all the time as well).

Have some respect please.

The article was rather specific. A so far unknown man went into the restroom with a container of gasoline. Another patron went into the restroom smelled a strong odor of gasoline and left immediately. Right after that the gas was ignited. The resultant fire also brought down part of the ceiling on the guy.

They were very adamant in the article that the investigators had ruled out the presence of a bomb or suicide bomber like in the ME. No explosion, no injuries other than to the guy in the restroom and a lot of quotes from people who are simply doing a lot of guessing and speculating that are not involved in the incident. Including that makes for more inches of article and adds nothing of substance.

For the few from Canada that serve willingly, of course I have respect.  I will definitely never have respect for anyone who takes their life.

Btw, that's the first time I was ever edited by a mod for flamebaiting. I usually don't do that and in retrospect I can see how it was taken that way, but in all honesty it was meant as simple ribbing.

Sounds great.  I'm not sure I will mention it here that we hooked up and that I ended up with a sore arse.

My apologies for jumping all over you Goth.
I took your post the wrong way.

Guess I'm a little more worried than I figured.

Being that I served in the millitary, and have quite a few friends in Afghan amd Iraq, I would agree that your worry is not unreasoned. However, even if you were over there, there is nothing you can do for your nephew. It will be important for you to understand what he goes through and support him be it mentally or physically.

It's funny, I remember how proud I made my parents feel when I joined. It was probably the first thing I did right in my adult life. As time went by, I grew to realize what type of impact my service was having on family, friends, girlfriends, whatever. It's easy to say "Ah, don't worry bout me", but it's hard to change the reality that they did, just as you are. Hopefully, if he's been in the military long enough, he has made his peace with whoever or whatever. Comfort yourself in the fact that he's serving with a professional organization, and not some fly by night merc group ala Blackwater. Unnecessary risks will not be taken, accidents can happen, but he is as safe as can be knowing the situation. Hell, I think he has a better chance over there than he would in Louisiana traffic right now. :O
