1. That is just horrible
And to think that those assholes in the White House have the nerve to call this a "volunteer force".

Yeah, they volunteered to serve if their country needed protecting, in exchange for helping to pay for college. They DIDN'T volunteer so they could die needlessy in a war that was based on lies and fueled by the twisted, imperialistic desires of a small group of assholes.

2. Tragic. In the mean time, the men that sent them there...
are in comfort and safety.

4. Wonder if there's a number after "Bring em' on"
That would be shortly before July 4th. I was surprised at a large 4th of July party we were at alot of people were chastising Chimpboy for his outrageous statement. A hell of alot of these people are card carrying Repugs.
