  •  I have tears in my eyes (4.00 / 9)

    because of this diary, and how in so few words you have captured the very soul of why this war is so wrong, why it is so very wrong to continue to keep our troops in Iraq.

    Thank you for your service, and thank you for taking the time to write this diary.

    Please, please send this diary to all of the major newspapers in the country as an opinion piece, as it nails the whole "he volunteered" issue with the facts that far too many are willing to ignore.

    Perhaps also you could go to Camp Casey, be there on August 27th when the war supporters show up to wave the flag.

    •  I'd go in a minute. But ... (4.00 / 46)

      "Perhaps also you could go to Camp Casey, be there on August 27th when the war supporters show up to wave the flag."

      My wife Lietta Ruger just returned after a week down there standing by Cindy, wearing out her cell-phone with interviews, talk-show call-in activities, etc.

      We're members of Military Families Speak Out and publishers of the MFSO Pacific Northwest website.

      But it's all volunteer (we knew what we were getting into) and we're a single income family. So I go to work and make noise on the Internet and Lietta goes to Crawford (and may go again) and makes noise in person.

      Whoever defines your reality owns your reality. That particular proprietorship must always be your own and not someone else's.
