somebody has to do it
I just saw Bush on teevee cracking jokes and wrapping himself in the bloody rainment of a dead solider for Veterans Day. The young man he was eulogizing threw himself on a grenade to shield his buddies.
I've got all kinds of feelings about the Bush administration's awful policies, but I'm still a whiles away from being in any danger of getting killed as a result of their idiocy. Tens and tens and tens of Iraqis have not been so lucky, as well as 2800K and counting American soldiers. I actually agree with the young man in the linked CNN video: somebody does have to put on a uniform and serve, whether it's as cops, firemen, paramedics, nurses, doctors or soldiers. My thing, though, is that NOBODY needed to die for this bullshit war of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld's. People like those three shouldn't even be allowed to speak on Veterans Day.
