A Veteran sends his Wings to the President
george bush received a letter from an honorable man. The vet enclosed his flight wings and his LT Bars as well. It is a heart wrenching letter and no doubt it will be trashed. bush will not read it. No action will be taken on it. The letters' originator is a good, decent, educated, peace loving citizen - A Liberal.

You won't find men like the letter writer in your party george bush.

1. Good find, Boss
K & R. All the cowards who cheered this invasion should be forced to listen to the author read it.

2. Does bush get more
inhuman and disgusting as every day goes by? He is a horrid human being because he knows no other way.

12. That's my take
As far as I can tell, Smirky has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's the most immoral person you are likely to run across outside of prison. In F911, the most telling scene to me was watching him giggle and preen as he was about to announce he was giving the order to bomb Mesopotamia off the face of the Earth. The man is the very definition of a sociopath - no conscience.

5. What a disgrace
That a military hero feels he needs to return his Wings to a President who never served his country, but manipulated the system to get out of doing his duty.

Bush is a coward and a traitor.

6. kick! This letter has inspired other decorated veterans to do the same.
I can imagine the sense of betrayal they must feel. They gave up so much, saw their friends die -- for this??

9. bush will never get his hands
on my hard earned military memorablia. My retirement flag is neatly displayed in glass. It is so much more important than the little drug addicted deserter in the oval office.

13. Hey, those will replace the ones he lost for snorting coke in the 70s.
:eyes:

Great letter, sadly inspired by a pathetic coward.

14. You can send him a note of support from the link.
I've never anonymously contacted anyone before from something they posted, but this may be worth the trouble.
