You want to see what "insulted" is? C'mon in...

[walldude]

WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS BELOW!

So you feel like your candidate has been "insulted". Or maybe you feel personally "insulted". Well then maybe your grip on reality is tenuous at best. This is what insulted looks like to the people who really need to get the neo-con psycho's out of office. Think about that next time you start spouting about how you can never "forgive and forget".

I tried to find pictures of the conditions at Walter Reed to remind people how we treat these soldiers when they get home, but lo and behold, those pictures have become very difficult to find.







Believe me, these are the tamest of the pictures I went through today. I can't look at them too often. But I try to every couple months to keep reminding myself what's at stake here. To look at these, and then listen to people on DU whining about how insulting so and so's campaign has been or how horrible so and so's supporters have treated them is pathetic. At best.

[Baby Snooks]

42. Sorry

This is not just Bush's war but the war Nancy Pelosi and others have continued to fund. They are just as unconcerned as Bush about the veterans - they are just as disposable as the rest of us.

Nancy Pelosi's compassion is best exemplified by her comment about the Pink Ladies and how if they were homeless people she could have them arrested. Makes you wonder how many homeless people she's had arrested for "disturbing" her "perfect little world."

?

April 24, 2008

And you really think Hillary Clinton will bring the boys home? She is not change. She is status quo.

[truedelphi]

105. Few people know that Pelosi owns an estate and has it

As an established vineyards.

She is responsible for the loss of habitat for the birds, badgers, foxes, coyotes and deer who have no where to roam, and certainly no home, once the mono-crop of grapes has moved in.

But on your estate, you don't have to worry about the occasional homeless PERSON. Out of sight, out of mind.

57. Shortly after the war started

my husband worked as a project manager for a government contractor at Walter Reed.
It was heartbreaking. He saw so many men and women -- kids really -- missing 1,2,3,or 4 limbs.
He would come home depressed for the whole time he worked there.

[Forkboy]

64. A good example of how far reaching the war's effects can be.

Peace to you and your husband.

61. Walldude, thank you. This is what most Americans should be

reminded of everyday, no more 100 years of invading and occupying. Especially since the Bush regime do not want photos of dying soldiers coming home. We need more nationalistic people like you to keep reminding us of what the Bush regime has done and continuing to do. McCain will continue the legacy.

Please, if you are a dem, vote for the dem nominee, the worst democratic candidate is 100% better than the best republican candidate in my humble opinion.

Repeat after me, no more invading and occupying, no more sending our youngsters to kill people and bringing them home in body bags.

80. Are these photos supposed to make me vote for Obama

You have got to be kidding. I will never vote for Obama. I will vote downticket for all other democrats but not for Obama. He can have his new coalition of AA and creative class. I will stick with the working poor, hispanics, asians, and poor whites.

Btw, those soldiers went into the military voluntarily and they knew what could have happened. I feel sorry for them but that is life.

[dixiegrrrrl]

87. The dead Iraqi and Afganistan babies...

did they volunteer?

How does 7 stop-loss forced rotations to Iraq equate volunteering for the National guard?

Pat Tillman volunteered..true...
and who killed him? hmmmmmm? Remember?

[william37]

89. They are soldiers

and their duty is to follow orders. If they have a problem with that then they should have never joined the military.

In reference to your iraqi babies and afghanistan, all I can say is that people died in wars. It is a part of it. All people have their sad stories.

[dbmk]

95. And there is a way to make it stop.

Yours is not it.

[walldude]

91. Btw, those soldiers went into the military voluntarily

Ever heard of STOP LOSS... troll.

And the post is supposed to keep you from voting for McCain, whoever the nominee is.. But like you said, fuck those soldiers :eyes:

I have been forever haunted by those two kids, standing there all dressed up, in utter shock at the monstrous destruction of their lives.

:cry:

I wish their photo could be pasted inside today's wedding program -- not for everyone, mind you, as I wouldn't want to ruin the day for Jenna and her new hubby -- but George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and a choice few others should be made to sit there staring at this other bride and groom....
