1. More blood on W's hands.

To add insult to injury, women will be denied equal rights under the new Iraqi constitution. Other than oil, why did they lose their lives?

2. Imagine being sent back 5 times.

"Shea deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in July 2005. He was a five-time veteran of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom."

6. 5 Times!

Do people even know this is happening? Damn. What am I thinking? Many wouldn't care even if they do know.
What is going on , do they just keep sending them back until they die? How can anyone support this horseshit!

All the while the little AWOL goes around bike riding and bar-b-queing. It's all so sick!

5. Everytime I see an article that says Bragg soldiers, I look to see...

if I recognize the names and therefore one of my former students. So far, no one I ever had has died that I'm aware of.

This whole thing really is nuts.

You know, Vietnam really lowered this country's confidence in the effectiveness of the use of American military solutions. Good thing we've had this war to turn that around.
