But what is even more nauseating is that he will likely immortalize the event by painting a peek-a-boo, portrait of them in the showers after the ride.

I just happened to have watched "Armitrage" last night, in which Brit Marling played Richard Gere's daughter/business partner. I like her even more now.

I do not understand why any veteran would want to associate with Bush.

The entire situation is puzzling and nauseating.

I think most of them are "Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do or die" personality types. They are ready willing and able to do whatever their country asks of them, without question.

And "lets go kill the bastards behind 9-11" thinking.

Honorable patriotic young people serving their country to the best of their abilities.

It's too bad that they were merely stupid brutes sent to do the treasonous bidding of the GWB White House. In their hearts, they desperately needed to believe they were serving a much higher purpose.

They and our entire country chose to completely ignore the lessons of Viet Nam. Ironic that those that engineered the Iraq invasion were almost all Viet Nam era chicken hawks that "had other priorities" when it was their time to serve.

They signed up to be soldiers for "The war on terror" and ended up being soldiers merely in "The war on dandruff"
