The diary
Marine Letter and it's associated link made me so angry that I commented then felt I should make it a diary.
My comments are below the fold, and yes, I'm a bit emotional
Without having read the other comments, and with tears, all I can say is Bush - YOU BASTARD.
I have just enough military experience to internalize the feelings of the soldier. If his sacrifice had been for a reason, my feelings would be different. But, this man's sacrifice is only because my president is STUPID.
President Bush, unfortunately, my President, you are an ignorant, scheming, self-serving, conniving, lying BASTARD.
Send your jack-boots to break down my door, imprison me without trial and I swear to spit on your jackals and give only my name, rank and social security number.
Get me quick, because I'm not alone.
You, George W. Bush, in the next few months, are going to see an uprising of the citizenry never before seen in history.
The anger you have generated in the populace is about to pop. I've been around long enough to know, Mr. Bush ... you will go down before the next presidential election as a criminal and I, along with millions of other Americans, will line the road to your prison and applaud as they slam the bars behind you.
