1. If, by "bastards," we're talking Cheney/Bush/Rice/Gonzales ...
... I could probably go with "all of the above." :shrug:

(But I'd rather see our nation rise up and totally inundate DC with millions and millions of irate citizens carrying tar, feathers, and rails.)

2. Here's the three options, that are really one, that get my vote:
We really need citizens surging into DC;
No more extended tours. No more recalls to active duty;
Nuh-uh! Head em up! Move em out!

3. I wanted to say No More Extended Tours and Stop Loss and limits
on how often/long you can get re-deployed, but I'm sorry to decide that would really just be ENABLING BushCo at this point, by making things more tolerable for the Military; postponing the INEVITABLE. We will not pursue Genocide for Hire, nor CAN We AFFORD it!!!

We are NOT War Slaves!

4. Not one soldier, not one cent
Stop the funding. Get 'em out.

5. Any Draft Proposals that include new "Consciencious Objector" SERVICE
categories MUST also define enlistment periods that prevent people from crossing back and forth over the line between CO and Military for Hire whenever it suits their personal motives.
