...Our sodiers and their families have enough problems without seeing this...yada, yada."

This is what I heard on the local radio driving to lunch Today.

Ok, in Today's Rocky Mountain News, on the front page, the photo was of a marine who had just learned that his buddy had been injured in the firefight in Fallujia on Tuesday. He was crying. I'm sorry I don't have the photo to post here (it is pretty powerful), as their website doesn't have it. If anyone knows how to convert a PDF to a Jpeg..let me know here, I'll try and get it posted.

Anyhow, back to this woman caller...

Get this, if any of these pro-invasion people get anything. This crying Marine is at WAR. That is what war is. War is pain. War is despair. War is maiming. War is loss. War is violence. War is destruction. War is death. Most of all, war has a REAL human toll on everybody fighting it. You wanted this war, and you got it...and ALL that comes with it. War is not John Wayne, parades, flags, and "throwing flowers and dancing in the streets". This picture is EXACTLY what you need to see, because this Marine is fighting a war YOU were hungry for!

EDIT: Check post 3 for front page of the RMN. Thanks Liberchick!:hi:
