Capt Trevor Greene ( Afgan axe attack victim)

I've always heard about people saying that they don't want their friends and family sent to war, and how much they blame the government when something awful happens to them while they are fighthing for rights and freedoms. I have always thought how I would feel if a family member or friend of mine was involved in a situation like this.

Well, I don't have to wonder anymore, it sucks, really bad, you don't quite know what to do, how to show support, or anything like that. I find that I'm doing a lot of reminiscing though and hoping that Capt. Trevor Greene pulls through.

I won't claim to be best friends or even close friends, but we did hang out in the same circle of friends and we held a lot of mutual respect for each other.

Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay's comments about how we have to show unwavering support and how any negativity will affect the performance of our troops is both disturbing and insulting. It is very George Bush like. I believe that the average Canadian is informed well enough that they can support their troops while not wanting to see them involved with a war that was started by faulty US international relations. I do, I have friends and family involved with the military, and while I understand that that's the life and risk that they choose to live, I don't have to support the war but I will always support the troops.

For those of you that have tried Daves insanity sauce that's unfortunate, I have. But a funny story about Trevor before I post out. For those of you that have never had Daves insanity sauce 1 drop in a huge pot of chili and it still makes your nose run.

Superbowl 34 St.Louis vs Tennessee, the chili was on the stove the wings were in the oven, we were a group of 12 to 15 getting ready for the big game. Jay Steve and I were getting teased again as the only people wearing wolly socks. It must be a maritime thing. Anyway Trevor shows up like clockwork, an hour late. We are by now accustomed to the one or two drops in the big pot so Trevor goes for the wings finding the hot sauce on the way and never trying it before, uses half the bottle on about a dozen wings, the cries of "Trevor no" went unheeded.

To our astonishment he ate them all "Holy cow Trevor's tough" was the main statement. The Beers kept flowing and to no-ones suspiscions Trevor went to the bathroom, came out, the game ended and we all went home. A week later we found out that while his bathroom trip wasn't suspicious it was unusual, as all the handcream was gone and there was a bite out of a hidden bar of soap. Apparently he didn't go to relieve himself he went to try to stop his mouth from burning without any of us knowing. He would of been successful too if he wouldn't of told anyone.

This is the website that has his bio and some info about the books that he has written, you can also send words of support to Trevor as well. Trevor's a great guy and will pull through this with a lot of support. Say a prayer for him if you so feel inclined.
