Iraq hits home

[Snellius]

As he prepared to leave for his second tour in Iraq, his usually upbeat, confident demeanor cracked.

"He told us that he felt he wouldn't be coming back," his father, Glenn, said Wednesday.

Shuder wouldn't listen to his family's pleas to try to change his assignment. The 21-year-old El Dorado County Marine felt bound by duty to go, despite his fear.

"Brad was very haunted by his experience the first time," said his mother, Rose. "But he never hesitated going back."

3. So was my cousin's son.... he is now out of the USMC,

discharged for being "gay" 12 years of a military career gone down the drain, but his company is there, there have been 6 killed so far and he is home trying to deal with his feelings about it all.

4. "From the time he was a youngster

he always wanted to be in the military," his father said. "He always said it was every American's duty to serve in the military."

He wasn't born in America...and he didn't get to die here either.
He died instead as a U.S. Marine on his second tour in BushWarII...
...the victim of flag-waving chickenhawk bastards.

8. my heart aches for this and too dammed many other families

"On Wednesday, the family shopped for a casket."

At least the War Profiteers are making out like the bandits they are.

God please get us out of this horrible, illegal and imorral war.
