http://icasualties.org/oif/ will underscore the SOS part of my call for Rat Patrol volunteers for Building 18. In fact, if we could get enough patriots to sign up, we could cover the entire Walter Reed compound. Volunteers would help keep The Aftermath costs down and thereby provide our government with the savings needed for Bush`s next war with Iran, Syria or Venezuela. Sorry, I forgot Cuba.
This mess at Building 18 makes us all look bad, especially since we`re supposed to be "Number One Super Power." What kind of super power hands out rat traps to maimed soldiers with no arms? Surely we can get this little problem under control before photos are splashed all over the world`s liberal newspapers.
I`ve been thinking....we`re willing to trample each other to death in order to get our hands on the newest electronic device or #1 Christmas toy, so why ccouldn`t we put this same energy into a program designed to highlight the compassion we`re noted for? Each politician could set aside $10 of their re-election funds and in no time we`d have the money needed to buy a case of traps or close up holes in a half dozen ceilings. Their examples would convince followers to do the same, and we`d have things under control without raising taxes. Could this happen? Of course. Corporate media could get involved and promise to trade 30 seconds of the next Anna Nicole Smith story for a quick blurb about this Rat Program. Brit Hume could start a Rat Relay over at Fox News and be rewarded with an hour-long special on Compassionate Conservatism.
This isn`t so much about our soldiers. Like Bush says, they all volunteered, knew what they were getting into and even agree with multiple deployments to Iraq. It`s about who we are. When President Bush goes on teevee and talks to us about having to bomb Iran, we`ll want to know we`re ready to handle the casualties. So, let`s get Building 18 fixed up before we move on to the next war. It just doesn`t look good for us to be giving tax breaks to billionaires while bed-ridden soldiers duck falling paint chips and rodents.
