A 2-year-old can sharpen pencils and by the time she's 5 you can teach her how to take notes at international conference calls. <BR/><BR/>If wives accompanied their spouses on deployments and terms of service in Iraq, we'd have a much happier and more effective military.Dimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457367927172471144noreply@blogger.com
