Reply #61: I read and re-read that post [View All]

and as a retired NCO who has troops I trained and friends I care about over there, I saw no such thing.

I regret that you missed the entire intention of the post.

Re-posting a comment I made in another thread:

One poster got it right... The Cassandra Complex- the rage from months of seething "I told you so" with every body bag secretly flown home, every coffin that's lowered into that cold ground.

For over a year we've been screaming NO WAR! NO death and destruction and now that it's here, now that it's the blood of our brothers and sisters being shed over there, middle America is beginning to wake up. It is (*& unfortunate that it takes the death of US soldiers for middle America to suddenly care about peace and justice- but no, middle-America doesn't even care about peace and justice- it only cares about the blood of its own.

It's time to blame middle-America for being so cement-headed that that's what it will take before the US pulls out kicking and screaming.

I am not angry at Starpass for that post; I am angry, seething angry, at middle America for supporting and tolerating this war.
