I'm a little late, but I hope you have access to a computer over there so you can read this.
Goodbye Nataku...you were one of my favourite members around here. I always admired your ruthlessness, and hope that your 'tyrant' persona keeps you alive in that dangerous shit-hole you're headed toward, (or have likely already arrived in).
My buddy went to Afghanistan a couple of years ago, (this was before our Canadian soldiers began dying on a weekly basis), and what I told him before he left was simply this:
When in doubt...SHOOT!
Take care of yourself and do your country proud...(and all that crap)...further your career and try to stay alive. As mentioned above, I hope you have access to the internet over there and can talk to us every now and then.
Farewell.
