When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.

They had a memorial service today here on post for a Corporal in the 4th Infantry Division, he must have been a good soldier because a good portion of the Post was shutdown.  It puts the war in a different perspective when you see things like that.

Almost no one is paying attention, drunk.

It's amazing.  Ask ten people who support Bush how many soldiers have died and how many have been wounded, and you'll see.  They don't know, and they don't really care. 

farging lives are being wasted..just totally wasted.

And then there's the innocent dead..numbering well over 10 times the count of those lost in 9/11.

Makes me so mad to think about.  These rich bastiches who never served, never risked shtein, never had to work for farg, killing innocent people and sending soldiers to die.  For nothing.

I like to think that it is for something, I hate the idea of thinking all these men, women, and children died for nothing.  The only thing that I can say in defense of the war is that from talking to all of the soldiers that we never get any exposure to all the good things that are happening over there.  But...maybe they are just trying to find something positive in a bad situation.

Dio,

Is this where you're getting the casualties info?

Diomedes

That's where I usually get them, yeah.  The MSNBC report said 2,500 this morning, while ICCC said 2,497 through most of the day.  ICCC now shows 2,500.

Since when did you did a shtein about the soldiers?  The same soldiers you have called merc's and murders?  You hate Bush, fine...the war, fine.  But don't try to legitimize your hatred by feeling any sympathy towards the troops Dio.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

Nah.  He's not worth it.


TrollJoel, if there's anything people like you have taught me..it's that I gotta speak to you in your language.  None of you give a shtein about dead Iraqi civilians, but you DO care about "your own."  So that's the number I focus on when I feel like reminding you that people are dying needlessly.

I have said those things, and I stand by them to a point.  By the same token, I wish the soldiers weren't dead, and they're just the poor men and women dying in a rich man's war.  So troll on over to some other sucker and good night.

Don't think for a second you know me Dio, so you can take that "people like you" shtein and chug it.  All I did was point out your hypocrisy (again), then you say I am not worth a response, yet you respond anyway.   :-D

Now see, out of the two of us I would really see you being the bitch.
