Duckworth's husband Iraq-bound

BY MARK BROWN Sun-Times Columnist
Illinois Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth will soon be facing a situation familiar to other military families throughout the state: her husband, Bryan Bowlsbey, is being deployed to Iraq.

<snip>
But that doesn't mean the couple haven't started discussing the special preparations they'll need to make before he departs: everything from moving the heavy mixing bowl and pans to the lower kitchen shelves so she can more easily reach them to building another wheelchair ramp in the garage because he won't be around to shovel the snow off the other one.

"It's a lot of little things you don't really think about at first," Duckworth said, noting how it's usually her husband who picks up the dry cleaning and fuels her pickup truck because those tasks are difficult for her in a wheelchair.

"We'll just deal with it, I guess," said Duckworth, insisting, "all of our Guard families have to go through this."

the rest...

Some days I am more angry at this administration than others.

Kerry, Gore, and now Duckworth had the courage to go so "others would not have to go in their place."
And somehow, they are painted as anti-American cowards, and draft dodgers "who had better things to do" like Bush and Cheney are hailed as "men's men" and "great Americans."


Best of luck, Tammy - keep up the good fight.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.

1. I would

(want someone to go in his place.) There is a shitload of worthless, constitution hating, war supporting, scum of the earth, young republican motherfuckers who know nothing of sacrifice; know nothing of love of country; know nothing of real patriotism who ought to go in his place.

And no doubt Tammi's husband will be trashed by those who do not deserve to live in the land of the free because he might sometime in the future object to this fucking atrocity.
