as a small child i grew up with a kid the same age as me.
his name was mason. i moved to Florida when i was in middle school, and i later found out he moved to Idaho in high school. i found him on myspace a few months ago. he is in the marine corps.
i could go on for hours about all this.
but it is really upsetting me.
he was always a really kind kid.
he got picked on a lot because he had obsessive compulsive disorder, and it made him inadvertently do all kinds of weird twitches and little movements and stuff.
well ive spoken to him, and hes a pretty hardcore dude.
he is all sarcastic and egotistical,
and he pretty much just wants to go to iraq to kill people, because theve brainwashed him to be that way.
he joined the marine corps because he wanted to be a police officer, and he thought that it would be good training.
i know that inside he is a good person, and ive told him i am a muslim, and tried to talk about it. but i am sure he just thinks i am crazy.
what in the world can i say to this man to help him.
i've told him that i don't support what he is doing and all, and he was just like thats fine, i can deal with that.
he wants to visit me before he leaves for Iraq in October.
this was pretty much my only true friend as a kid.
i really want to say something to him that might spark some sort of self reflection or moral question.
it might also be mentioned that the marine corps tells them that they are going there to help the Iraqi citizens.
and he is thoroughly convinced that he is helping cleanse the land.
