Angry Marine's post on Craig's list (served in Iraq, lost husband in extension of tour):
Edited on Tue Apr-24-07 09:25 AM by The Count
I am SICK of all this bullshit people are writing about the Iraq war. I am abso-fucking-lutely sick to death of it. What the fuck do most of you know about it? You watch it on TV and read the commentaries in the newspaper or Newsweek or whatever god damn yuppie news rag you subscribe to and think you’re all such fucking experts that you can scream at each other like five year old about whether you’re right or not. Let me tell you something: unless you’ve been there, you don’t know a god damn thing about it. It you haven’t been shot at in that fucking hell hole, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are “Supporting our Troops” and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I’ll tell you why. I’m a Marine and I served my tour in Iraq. My husband, also a Marine, served several. I left the service six months ago because I got pregnant while he was home on leave and three days ago I get a visit from two men in uniform who hand me a letter and tell me my husband died in that fucking festering sand-pit. He should have been home a month ago but they extended his tour and now he’s coming home in a box.

2. You rant on You Patriot
Yeah the happy horseshit spewed daily by limbaugh and hannity is treasonous. And the ignorant trash at free republic are proud of their ignorance. they just love to wave the flag and scream at liberals and drink beer on weekends and sacrifice absolutely nothing for our country. Scream on Marine. And please get more of your teammates to scream on as well.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS MY ASS. Conservatives are a cancer on our country.

6. With you on that. Otherwise it'll be sidelined during general elections like in 2004
This is the most gut wrenching, obvious difference between the 2 parties/candidates (or IT SHOULD BE): war vs peace. Everything else pales next to it.

3. This was already posted last week.
It made the Greatest page under the title "From an Angry Soldier", I don't have the link though.

5. I'd like to be on hand if she visits the White House.
Don't surviving parents and spouses get invited to at least one of the trained monkey's Moms and Dads and Loved Ones™ performances?
