How is Smirky able to honor the fallen soldiers, when he still hides them
when they come back? When he still blurs their numbers? When he doesn't tell them what they fight and die for? When he sends them in without proper equipment? When he uses them to keep fear in the hearts of the ones of us left behind? When he told their enemies to "bring it on"? When his chosen successor wants to add to their numbers for a hundred years?

1. Not only does he hide them
A friend of mine who works in the airforce says that the bodies are treated as cargo so that the press won't know what's being unloaded from the planes. Sickening.

Should be brought home in flag draped caskets not cargo crates.

2. Because he's a disgusting waste of air
He doesn't care. Sometimes I think he feels this is all about is some sort of personal goal setting, without regard to outcome. More intense than a game of golf, but with with no more meaning.

3. And WTF is up with this?


I used to have a little respect for Rolling Thunder but after seeing them prostitute themselves for this draft dodging weenie, that's gone.

6. I wonder if any burials were delayed because of the Chimp's photo-op?
And how often has he been there, anyways?

He normally avoids the place like the plague.
