He can't hold hands with his father anymore. Two-year-old Danny Damon is just now realizing that. But Danny did get his father back from Iraq.

...more...

For some odd reason, this article reminded me of the sergeant from
Starship Troopers.
The entire article makes it sound "OK" to no longer have both arms...
Its "OK"...to have lost your limbs in this "glorious war"... :eyes:

People...we have to stop this before it gets out of hand... Our
country has been hijacked.

2. STARSHIP TROOPERS is everything
Best anti-fascist movie ever...(On DVD be sure to watch the post production documentary... the one made afterward when everyone could talk about the political agenda of the film without jeopardizing funding)

Scary that "Arachnids" sound so much like "Iraqis," and what's up with the Afghanistan lookin' cave hunts? And the obvious 9/11 style destruction of Buenos Aires... and the FOX News graphics...

Scarier still when you realize the film was made in 1997!
