Reply #18: You've seen the human price

But probably most of us won't unless we go looking for it. The President talks total war, but he and his bloody-handed pals and the unspeakable Republicans who support them are doing their best to make sure that the average American doesn't see or feel anything resembling war.

At best, numbers are all we get, and maybe a picture in the newspaper of one more local kid who is coming home in a bag. We certainly see nothing of our wounded and maimed, not to mention the Iraqi men, women, children, the entire families that we have butchered over there.

I've seen tapes and news broadcasts from the Viet Nam years and it looks to me like Americans then could see with their own eyes what was going on and how horrible it all was. The Republicans have made sure that they didn't make that mistake again.
