re: #365 goddamnedfrank

And why is that? Would it have anything to do with the tens of thousands of soldiers that were wounded in the two wars Bush started? Might lowering taxes and keeping those wars off the books and out of the official budgets not have helped the situation? You might want to cogitate on the fact that we’re talking about tons of people with traumatic brain injuries, or who will be needing state of the art prosthetic limbs for the rest of their lives. Only an idiot thought that was going to be cheap going in.

This is why I refuse to commemorate Veterans’ Day, however little of it there is left in this timezone. We’re sending tens of thousands to kill off millions and then bring their maimed but alive bodies back to cut them off. All in the name of securing economic interests under the shabby facade of “protecting human rights.”

This is not something worth commemorating.
