somethinelse 0 #1 September 12, 2005 My brother's wife just emailed me my nephew just arrived in Kuwait (w/82nd Air Borne) wating to move into Iraq soon. I guess his first impression of the place was interesting: "Bobby said Kuwait is like the desert planet in Star Wars with lots of camels..." From those of you who've been there, is that about right? -LuLu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
