Sudan

 
Imagine serving in a country where the United States sent a Patriot's missile into a pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, under the mistaken notion that it was producing chemical weapons.  Imagine a country where Osama Bin Laden used to live.  Imagine living as a Sudanese in a place where over 2 million of your countrymen have been killed in constant struggles for power and control of resources.  Imagine a place where in one part of the country Christianity is accepted and in another part it's 99.9% Muslim with little tolerance for Christianity.  Imagine a place where hundreds of thousands from the Darfur region in western Sudan are trying to escape to neighboring Chad because their villages are being ravaged by Arab militias.  Imagine a place where hundreds of thousands of the Darfur tribe are trying to escape western Sudan to neighboring Chad.  If the supplies do not reach the Darfur region, a million will die of starvation, cholera, polio, and other diseases.
