Memorial Days under Bush are Extra Bittersweet.
We think of all those who've made the ultimate sacrifice under our banner, going back two and a half centuries with bittersweet remembrance, but it's just bitter when you think about all the soldiers who've been crippled and killed in Iraq, and for what.

It's just bitter, and no sweet when you realize that they didn't fall for lofty reasons like freedom and democracy and country, but for money.

For money. I'll say it again, "Money".

They all died, and all those mothers and fathers cried, and all those Iraqi children suffered, and all those innocents wasted for a thing called money.

Money for a few pigs dressed as men who never seem to have enough, and would rather do it this way, than actually work, or fight. Men who would rather send your son or daughter to die, than leave their mansions.

They all died for money.

Money.

1. War will never end...
Until we take the profit out of it...as long as white haired greedy men can make money off of sending young kids to die in their profit making wars...it will NEVER stop...
