I have been raised up by and near the military.

For the first time in my life - the Marines and Navy scared me. I felt threatened. I felt scared.

There wasn't any feeling of "not all of them are that way", or "it's only a few" - their is a vibe there.. a  pulse...

it's one that says - I'm free to do whatever I want. I'm free to murder. You're nothing.

Bush has created a murdering monster and we can't even raise our voice against it without being scorned or threatened for doing so.

Those that are silent - are complicit.

My Veteran is so thoroughly disgusted by the display of militirization in EVERYTHING and the attrocities and the generaly lack of concern on the part of Americans. "Oh, they're just trying to do their job..." BULLSHIT!!!! Make them all accountable.

Janet and we will fight for what is right because we know the difference and because the military has been a community that we have both lived in we can feel the difference.  We will overcome this because there really isn't a choice but perpetual war and death and that cannot be tolerated!  We will all make it through it though honey.....like Cabingirl tells me when it's rough for me "If you're going through hell, keep going!"

Some of our men are refusing to go. Ehren Watada of Washington state. He'll go to jail - but the bastards who murdered so many children and shot a dsiabled 75 year old ... we'll get a fucking parade.

And you know what - Democrats will be right along cheering because they can't stand up and do any critical thinking. They are too afraid to look like a peace activist. They are the chickens for the chickenhawks.
