Reply #22: Mr. Bush, this is not about YOU.

[Cabcere]

It is about our soldiers and Marines who are fighting and dying in Iraq every day, and it is about bringing them home safely - something you seem to care nothing about. It is not about playing silly, childish games and "testing your will." It is about the health, lives, and futures of our men and women in uniform - real Americans, sir, which you seem to know nothing about. To frame this issue as a "test of will," a dare, or a gamble not only makes you look like a spoiled brat and a petulant bully, but it is disrespectful to every man and woman who has died fighting in your war. Do these lives mean nothing to you, sir? Is it all just a game to you? Do you understand that they are real people, with real lives and real families, and not just toys? Do you understand that, sir? Do you even care? Mr. Bush, I know you are not very intellectually inclined, but please, sir, try to understand that this issue is NOT ABOUT YOU, and that by pretending it is, you are both hurting our troops and trivializing their sacrifice. Please stop.
