wow! crackpot realism, i like that.
i remember back in the 50s and 60s that i had an undying faith in the United States. if i had been needed, i would have gone to fight for our country.
but it isn't that way now....these soldiers are fighting for oil for this administration.instead of raising the flag on the field that we gained, it would be fitting now to set up a gas pump.
it tears me apart to see another unit stand in formation and tell their families and friends goodby. i watch their faces on the television and i know that someone won't return or will return maimed. i read that we have something like 60,000 injured and maimed now?
when i was talking about my SIL standing sentry, i forgot to say that he is at Ft. Hood now.
by the way, our president gave up golf because "the soldiers are fighting our war" and he is playing again. did everyone come home?
