1. The man with his arms outstretched over his son's casket... |

has broken my heart and inflamed rage.
Damn the men who run the corporations who send other people's children to die. Who send other people's children to kill. Who USE the morality of decent people to commit war crimes, to commit genocide.
Damn them. Damn them for the lives of Iraqis taken brutally. Damn them for the torture. Damn them for the proud nation destroyed. Damn them for the hopes dashed. Damn them for their imperiousness, for their stupidity, for their racism, for their xenophobia, for their hatred, for their attachment to power.
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just and that his justice cannot sleep forever." Thomas Jefferson
And yet... I PRAY THAT GOD'S JUSTICE WAKENS AND LIGHTENING BOLTS FALL ON THE HEADS OF THE MEN WHO RUN THE CORPORATIONS THAT SELL DEATH.

My brother's unit sustained its first casualty yesterday. The details are sketchy, but apparently the next of kin has been notified. That is all that I can say without getting anyone into trouble.
Bless you for posting this beautiful tribute.
May AWOL burn in HELL for what he has done to this planet. Evil incarnate.

10. That Means A Lot To The Troops, When People Say That |

It really does, because you cannot imagine how terrible it is over there.
Imagine the most horrible thing you can, multiply it by 1000. It's still worse.

I did not see any combat, but I lived through that time and I will never forget the horror.
And I am very well acquainted with the evil of this administration, which has suceeded in hiding the horror of this illegal and immoral war from the American people, but not from me.
So, maybe you are right in that I cannot imagine the horror of this war, but I have an idea how bad it is.
on edit - welcome to DU, by the way. I wish we could say to them: "You're coming home now, for good. Your work is done, and God bless you for your service and sacrifice."
