Ouch. Getting a little touchy there are we. I certainly didn't
get the impression that he was blaming the soldiers. He just said
that of people stopped volunteering there would be so many coming
back in coffins and wheel chairs. It's not their fault that they
were sent over there on the basis of a bunch of lies, and that
they are now stuck there until the mess can be cleaned up. The
death toll is close to 3000 and thousands more have been wounded.
A lot of those wounds are multiple limb amputations. They are
horrendous injuries.


It would be nice if those men and women could be home with their
families for Thanksgiving.
