2. Another death, added to Bush's scorecard...

I hope your family is able to find some measure of peace. You should not have had to die to satisfy this corrupt government's lust for money and power.

3. What the heck?!

Last I checked, we had 2013 or so. That was only a few days back, I thought.

This is getting so very depressing. All those young lives. All those souls. :cry:

5. Please tell me this is a typo?

2042??? It was just yesterday we hit the 2000 mark.

This is despicable. When will the people call for impeachment???

Between this and the hatred that asshole has generated in Latin America, I am so ashamed to be an American right now.

6. When I checked this afternoon I'm sure it was 2038....

yet the four extra don't appear to be new. What I mean is they're nearly all named and died earlier in the week. I wonder if the Pentagon is delaying the release of info?

7. My best friend's husband goes back next month

and I have the worst feeling about this upcoming deployment.

8. I have a horrible feeling about it as well

I am so ashamed of what our country has done to our Military.

:(

11. There was a group of us together for the last deployment but

now we've all moved away and our husbands are now in non-deployed positions. She's all alone. I'm thinking of going back to the states to stay with her for a few months.

I didn't have these feelings when my own husband was deployed. I lived with the possibility of his dying night and day - but this is different. I'm hoping it's just nerves.

10. Sadly, they died because of lies and corporate profit

When are W supporters going to wake up and demand that our troops come home? The blood is on their hands and W's.
