7. Yeah sure, general, whatever you say
Oregon lost a guard guy last week who had been in Iraq for something like two months after his hitch ended because of stop-loss. Ever the cheerleader for all things military, the Oregonian today editorialized that the young man had been killed by an IED, not the stop-loss order, although they did allow as how "ironic" it was that he got killed after his official separation date.

Dear fuckheads at the Oregonian: It wasn't fucking "ironic" this guy died -- it was "inevitable" that someone would die who had overstayed his time in Iraq. It was "coincidental" that he happened to be from Oregon. Fuckheads.

Less than sanguine about this. Can you tell?
