11. Stack em high and count em

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Cripes, who conjures these bombastic names, and for what purpose?

Rest in peace my brothers.

12. I'm trying to figure out why they stopped there
Why in-motion suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device

or Earth-bound multi-wheeled in-motion suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device

EBMWIMSVBIED

or Earth-bound multi-wheeled in-motion gasoline-propelled man-guided crew-launched GSLRR-capable (Go, Stop, Left, Right, Reverse) suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device

4. Amen...
At a certain point you really do have to make personal choices and unfortunately these men chose to be terrorists and I don't care what uniform terrorists wear.

6. Now is the first time I've known someone in the military in Iraq
Up to this point it has not hit close to home.

During the Vietnam days I knew many many people fighting over there. If the times were the same now as then, if the draft made every family vulnerable to that far-away war, there would be much more outcry over the dying and the injuries.
