CAN YOU IMAGINE?
Those of you who were able to go down to Crawford and see firsthand - Arlington West. If I recall - there were 850 ? crosses set up for fallen soldiers. And we know that there are currently 1853 confirmed deaths.

Imagine how much space it would take to have 1853 markers. And then, let us look at casualties.....add another 15 000 (?) markers of some kind for casualties of the war.........

And let us not forget the Iraqi deaths - add another 100 000 markers for those who lost their lives.

Is 160 acres enough space for all those crosses and crescents???

heavy sigh.....and it was all because of one man....."Fuck Saddam - we are taking him out!"

I abhore war. I really do. :shrug:
