TEN FING DEPLOYMENTS! We Americans treat our factory farmed animals better than we treated the brave and patriotic young people we sent repeatedly to fight our war of choice in Iraq! Why on earth should we feel proud or patriotic about the cruel and unusual punishments we asked of people like Army Ranger Cory Remsburg? (I wonder if Dick Cheney said to himself; So what? He volunteered! when he watched this?)
Many of the elected idiots in that room are directly responsible for supporting the needless and downright stupid invasion of Iraq. I hope whats left of their conscience eventually realizes the extent of needless human misery they forced upon people that volunteered to serve their country! Please also consider the hundreds of thousands of displaced and dead Iraqis that was also a mostly forgotten consequence. I wonder how much patriotic feeling would have been invoked if one of their grievously wounded also shared the stage with the President and Remsburg?
War should be the last terrible choice only in dire circumstances where the security and well being of our country is at bona fide risk. i.e., WW2. It should not be merely another choice in our bag of tricks for international policy!!!!! Like Obama has said; Im not against all wars. Just stupid ones.
What about WAR IS HELL do these monsters not understand?
