Just bring your conversation around to the Iraq war and tell him that you are there for him to talk to as you can only imagine how he must be feeling about his brother having to go out there. Explain you don't want to hassle him but he has your 100% support whether he wants to talk, shout, cry or whatever over it! Good luck.

Just be a friend. What is going on in Iraq right now is not pretty. My daughter in law just lost her oldest brother in Iraq. The only thing that people can do is be there for the family. It is scary to know that a loved one may never return. This war is leaving scars on many families.
As a friend, just love your friend and let them know you are there no matter what. Just being with your friend will help. Hold them, let them know you realize they are scared and confuse. Let them know that no matter what - you will be there to listen, to talk, to comfort.
You are a true best friend to be concerned, continue being so!

all you have to do is be there for him... you sould have to say anything as long as your are ther with him........ it will be hard for him to see his brother going to iraq and thinking tht he may not come back and being over in combat it changes there lives for ever hie bother will never be the brother he know before her went to iraq........all he needs to know that you are there for him and his family.......... i hope i have helped message me and tell me whats happend

No matter what you decide to say, don't talk about how much danger his brother may be in. (he knows this)
If you bring up anything...tell your boyfriend to make sure he gets an address, so you guys can send mail. (they always need batteries) Be sure to send razors. (need snug fit on chemical mask)

Find a younger girl, a professional, check around, then set up a blind date, give him the keys to a hotel room, send them off. He'll never forget your sympathy. tell him his brother did it.

there nothing to say. it is something he signed up for when he sign that dotted line. all you can do is pray for him and ask God to watch over him and bring him back.
