Something is probably going down in the summer.

[Joe for Clark]

I am just an accountant from LA - it is a fact.

But I know, troop deployments supposed to happen in July are being moved up to June or better - why??

I know one thing Dad always said to us, and it has been true - "Believe the army too much, and it can get you killed". He had a dual commission as a major in the army and the air force (because of the switch) and he fought two wars and he knew the army, too well. I think he saved two of my brothers in Nam, I do.

Temperatures go up in the summer, I understand that - I think those kids body bag counts will too, and I think they are doing their level best to convince them they are doing the right thing here.

This is probably going to break in the summer - you can smell it.

I've been to a few of those basic grad classes - I just want those kids out of there, before the fact. They are our kids, America's kids - they do not deserve this. They are good kids.

1. This whole thing is criminal against our troops & the Iraqi people.

And it's not going to stop once we get them out of their and Iraq gets peace. The depleted uranium will haunt these people for the rest of their lives with health problems.

3. You may be right about those depleted uranium rounds.

I can tell you - I have a very deep feeling for those dumb American kids - and they are DUMB.

Hell, they are OUR kids - you know what I mean??

They barely graduated High School -

They have no business over there. None at all.

All hell is coming down on them there - and they do not see it coming.

They deserve to know what is coming, and the army sure won't say it.


We are the adults in the "room" - aren't we ???

2. As an Army brat, I think you are right ...

4. It is sad -

I wrote that book about WWII - let me tell you, we are NOT alone -


Many of us heard the stories, learned the lessons -

There are ALOT of us.


Best to you man,
