Great read.

"I'd like to punch in the gut," says one seasoned NCO on his second Iraq tour. "He treats us like we're not human. He acts like he's not destroying families."

Must read.

1. Rated 5! Remember Active Duty troops, the republican chicken hawks

love to remind you to "not whine" because you did sign the contract to go kill and die for Dear Leader and his Oil Wars of Conquest. :(

What's the moral of this tragic saga playing out in 2, 3, and 4 deployments to Iraq-nam? :dem: VOTE DEMOCRATIC!
Well, only if you wish to not be abused and received the FULL Veterans' benefits that you so rightfully have earned and deserve. :patriot:

2. is the redeployment of the Troops to Iraq a way to lesson

their losses. I mean the soldiers are exposed to Depleted Uranium and I and many suspect it is the cause of gulf war syndrome as several studies have shown it to be. Their having already been exposed to du, so rather than sending another soldier to only be exposed too, just return the same ones over and over, as they, bushco*, think they're gonna' die anyway. Its all in the numbers with these guys, bushco*, anyway isn't it.

3. I had not considered that (DU Exposure) ...

Yes, I hope and pray that we pull out of "the entire M.E." sooner rather than later. It's horrific what we've done to Iraq and Afghanistan. However, with time are true diplomacy, we can help or at least do NO more harm to their beloved Countries.

Our soldiers need full access to Veterans' Administration Hospitals. We (non warmongering democrats) can NOT undo the radiation exposure, but we can make sure that Our Government continues to take care of the soldiers who have sacrificed so much.

4. You bet we can and must.

taking the high road leaves one vunerable to the smears and jeers of the opposition and causes many mis-steps but by doing so in the end we will Win an honest Win, nothing quite like an honest win either. imo
