My son-in-law's brother is a sniper. He loves his job, and he's been voluntarily re-upping since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, doing several tours both there and Iraq. He recently completed SF training, and he's redeploying again, very soon.
But for the first time, he was unable to tell my son-in-law where he is being deployed. All he was able to say is that they are landing in Jordan.
