4. Bare in mind that both
Timothy McVeigh and John Allen Mohammed (D.C. sniper) were both Desert Storm vets. We've got some serious trouble brewing if we don't get these folks some real help.

Desert Storm only lasted a mere fraction of the amount of time this disastrously executed conflict has lasted. And our fearless AWOL "War pResident" is denying them both care and benefits.

I feel so badly for them.

Desert Storm syndrome has been totally swept under the carpet.
I met a vet from that conflict at the local General Store in early '03.

He refused to take his anti biological weapons meds and had been thrown in the brig as a result. He said everyone in his unit who had taken the meds were suffering extreme psychological and physical problems. Many of them had kids with birth extreme defects.

I fear another four years of rule under such insensitive incompetants.

The nightmare of Falluja is barely being covered.

Oh but the media has spent 30% of it's time reporting about Laci and Conner and Scott. Not to say that isn't a tragedy but how does it compare with 100,000 deaths of innocent Iraqis and incomprehensible injuries to the survivors? It doesn't at all.

Okay, I'll shut up now.
