5. Add two more to the pile of wasted life's

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

9. Why is it always "two killed"?

OK, it isn't "always" two killed, but most of the time, it is. It would be different if they had been killed while they were together, but most of the time, they're in different parts of the country. Anybody have any theories on this?

13. More broken hearts

And minds, and families. Somebody somewhere is screaming out in pain.

Rest in peace Soldiers.

And here a good place to mention how much I despise this administration. I try to do that daily at some point. I'll will never forgive, nor forget what those evil bastards have done to this country and to our military.
