Not as succinct as “Last letter Home”.
Guy at work’s brother just shipped out to Oruzgan province. He was prev in East Timor but I’m predicting he might struggle in a land of no alcohol.
Huh? That’s from “Last Letter Home.”
Okay. Just saying the title “Last letter home” seemed more fitting than its lyrics.
I don’t know. This line seemed more defiant, captured a certain dignity. No? Just saying ‘Last Letter Home’ seems a bit flip for reasons I can’t quite capture.
Yeah, I kinda see that.
If this is just for the Afghanistan notices, considering every soldier I’ve heard from describes it like visiting the moon, maybe some tripped out 70s gear is in order.
