Lying soldiers into early graves is a special kind of sin all it's own
to me, it's on the same level as luring a child into a car with a puppy then killing the child. lying to the soldiers, getting their patriotic emotions elevated, sending them off to die so billionaires can sleep better at night. is this sin covered in the ten commandments? if not, we need an eleventh.

2. Yesterday, after George Stephanopoulos ran his "In Memoriam"
list, I wondered if it wouldn't be a good idea to not allow people to join the military until they're 30. No offense to any teens and early twenty somethings on the board, but when you're that young many don't know what the hell they're doing. I bet some of the young guys who sign up think it will be fun to shoot big guns and that's their motivation. Others are lured in by false promises and don't know enough to get it in writing. Sure, there are those who have it entirely together, but is it worth the lives of those who don't?

3. ...and then joking about it by pretending to look for WMD throughout
the White House. It is sickening. And the people who support him in the wake of what we now know should be ashamed of themselves.
