4. At least they weren't drafted
It's hard to feel sorry for a mercenary army. We can't say they didn't know what was coming or that it wasn't their choice to go. They volunteered to serve in the military. That means they volunteered to die at Bush's whim. Even flipping minimum wage burgers beats fighting Cheney's war.

I do feel sorry for the victims, the Iraqi people and the Americans who will be killed by the hatred spawned by Bush's Iraq war.

7. Excuse me;
my husband joined up 23 years ago.

NO he did not know he would be lied into an illegal invasion of a nation that hadn't been doing one damn thing to anyone.

NO he didn't volunteer to invade a nation that hadn't been doing one damn thing to anyone.

NO he didn't join up 23 years ago to volunteer to die at Bush's whim.

He's fucking FURIOUS and despises his own country now. While his life is on the line in Iraq.

Funny thing is, he'd die to save YOUR life. Willingly.

And in return he gets rightwingnut shit like "they knew what they signed up for!"
