      "8) What do you plan on doing when you come home to the States? And do you see this (being a Marine) as a career?

      The first thing I'm gonna do when I get off the bus is hug my mom and sisters, shake my Dad's hand, take an ice cold Miller Lite from his other hand, twist the top off and take a good long pull. I also plan on attending the Badger/UNLV game, and then a few up in Madison. After that I could care less."

      what strikes me is the 'I could care less'.Jake Wood is a talented young man,who should be commended for acting according to his beliefs.But the comment shows a very tired soul,certainly not something you expect to hear from a 20 succesful guy.

      And the sad part,is that the cause is certainly not worth it.
