We have a Reservest at work who just recently got back form Iraq...

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Who has some harrowing stories to tell.

But the most interesting thing I have heard from him is: "As soon as my eight years are done, I'm getting the hell out of this country."

I so wanted to tell him to do it now. Before Bush gets him killed.

THAT would have been supporting the troops. I hinted at it, but I respect him and his decisions... Just praying that he gets to live to tell his grandkids.

1. Yes, well as soon as we see Jenna and Barbara and some

of Rummy, Richard Perle, Lieberman, and Santorum, et al children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews go to Iraq and Afghanistan.....THEN you should believe that our 'leaders' think this is a 'great cause'. Until then, protect yourselves and you-and-yours. What did P.T. Barnum say once, "A sucker is born every minute".

Glad your friend understands 'what-is-what'. You're a good friend for understanding it all so well too! :hug:
