LA Times: Sick Vet Story
Just what was the poor vet suffering from? What is that long multi-syllable diagnosis?
Mad Cow Disease... Creutzfeldt-Jakob
The in the hell is going on over there in Iraq?
Huh, 'spontaneous' Mad Cow Disease?
And the poor trooper and his family doesn't deserve an apology? The trooper and his family deserve to have every one of the creeps involved crawl a mile on their knees over broken glass to earn the privilege to apologize!
No wonder the Vietnam vets called these kinds of people REMFs... Rear Echelon Mother Fsckers!
In this case the Father and Mother were both fscked with!
These low-life REMFs dare to call themselves American soldiers.
There is something very wrong going on in America these days.
Our soldiers are trapped in Iraq for a AWOL CHICKEN-hawk president, an entire division of casualties, and 432 dead in less than 9 months. REMFs resurgent... it makes me sick!
And now Mad Cow Disease! This might just be the index case of another catastrophe...
