2. i feel like

he's been betrayed by his "country"-

as all our troops have been by this administrations mis-use of the trust enlisted men and women place in the hands of those who CHOOSE to make war-

the numbers have faces, and leave behind loved ones and holes that will never be filled-.... thank you for helping us all to remember that-

4. Just found this...2 FL soldiers killed in the same "incident"...

Army Pfc. Cody J. Orr, 21, of the Tampa suburb of Ruskin, and Sgt. Edmond Lee Randle, 26, of the Carol City neighborhood northwest of Miami were killed Saturday when their Bradley Fighting Vehicle struck a bomb and overturned in the cane fields north of Baghdad, the Department of Defense said.

Also killed was Spc. Larry E. Polley Jr. of Center, Texas. All three soldiers were attached to the 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, based at Fort Hood, Texas...

Back in Miami-Dade County, Randle's mother, Karla Randle-West, described her son Tuesday as "everybody's favorite."

Randle was attending Florida A&M University in Tallahassee when he joined the Army. His mother said he enlisted because his scholarship didn't cover all his educational costs. He intended to come back to school but recently re-enlisted after being offered more money. He previously was stationed in Germany.

5. The really sad part is listening...

to the families at home giving their complete support to Bush* when interviewed. One wife slipped and told the truth: they could/would not face the fact the Bush* sent them to die for a lie.

What's scarier is that after everything Bush* has done to military families (stripping money and benefits, forced contract extensions, etc.), they MAY vote for him in November.

8. Last night Spacemonkey spoke of the dedication of the

soldiers and the courage. I kept yelling at the tv how many funerals have you attended? How many parents have you talked to?

What a fraud he is. Do the American people know he has never attended even 1 funeral of a dead soldier?
