Those of you old enough to remember, and perhaps even serve, in Vietnam remember the old-time newscasts....live combat, wounded soldiers and civilians....flag-draped coffins, etc. The images from that war educated a whole new generation on the horrors of war and led to questioning our government - WHY were we in that country, WHY were we sacrificing our soldiers, WHAT was the purpose of the continued violence, WHEN will they be coming home?
Flash-forward to today. There is a reason why our government has banned photos of our war heroes....the evil Empire knows what can happen if America's attention is distracted from the hypnotizing effects of tabloid, Hollywood journalism and, actually, sees the truth of what is going on behind the yellow ribbon "support our troops" campaign.
Let me be clear....I do believe there are just wars. I do believe in our country having a moral duty to protect our nation and the world from murdering, psychopathic dictators. I am thankful our country put an end to Hitler's regime. But in doing so, our country lost many heroes. We knew the horrors of war and accepted the outcome as being justified.
THIS war in Iraq is not justified. THIS war in Iraq was begun with an illegal action which undermines our Constitution. THIS government in THIS war has flouted the Geneva Convention rules and U.N. rules for wartime treatment of prisoners....rules OUR country put into place for future protection of our own soldiers in future wars. Our government used to be a moral compass of the world. Now, it is disgraced and our soldiers are being sacrificed for control of OIL. Shameful. Horrible. Wrong.
The government thinks the following pictures in the extended post are too inflammatory for public viewing. Don't you think you should decide for yourself? Don't you think these soldiers and their families deserve the respect, attention and remembrance as our soldiers in past wars?
In November, remember these photos. Remember which party brought this war to you. Remember which party will end the war - during our generation, not in 100 years. Honor these soldiers and their families. Please remember them.
People are getting maimed and killed while we argue over the best seat on a sinking ship.
BOOTS On OUR Territory!
BRING ON our troops!
HOME NOW!
BRING OUR TROOPS AND THEIR BOOTS HOME - NOW!
So anyway...we are only headed into more stuff like this because nobody wants to believe who the real enemies are other than ourselves.
Bullshit. We're not stupid. We know the ties of the oil companies with our government. We know the true mission. We know where Halliburton's new company headquarters is located. We've known it from the start.
Check the blogs on this site for the last two years. Check out our members' dedication to protests - writing and calling our legislators, standing on street corners during protests, preparing packages for the troops, holding fundraisers for basic supplies for Reserve troops. Tell me what you have done besides continuing your condescending crap ramblings here.
The Libertarians won't stop this war, because they aren't going to be in power to stop the funding or withdrawal the troops. The only party with that capacity is the Democratic Party.
Everything of importance....
They didn't want to repeat the rioting and demonstrations in the streets...
Of course, the draft and the body count all over the evening news...... They sure didn't want to repeat that.

I have worked in 3 VA Hospitals over the years, I know the other price of War.
I was in Salt Lake City in 1968. I am Anti War (preventive War) but not Anti Military.
I won't go into the finer details of that. I saw too much. You have no idea. Most may know one or two disabled Vets but when you see thousands?
It has been 40 years, and I still have the images burned into my brain.
I am also a Silver Commander for the Disabled Vets.
Which means I have donated more than 25 years without failing one year. (2008) that would be 40 years. Maybe I will become a golden commander.
I never give to the Goodwill etc.... always the Disabled Vets.
Back to the Vets........ you do know that Hillary has worked very hard and has helped obtain the needed health care for the returning Vets, not just the Vets but their families. She will not tolerate continued abuse. They did what was asked of them, even when the reasons were wrong.
They were not fighting and giving up their lives for our freedom. None of this is about our freedom at risk.
Health care is Hillary's passion..... the abuse of returning Vets is not a new story.
I have shared, Clinton's passion for that passion the last 40 years....and she has only been at it for 20.
The support the troops bumper stickers and ribbons are lost and they fade. The real thing is, many Vets come home damaged.. and often for life. We abandon these Vets. This is a fact..... we have done it with every War since WWII.
I am so sorry ....... so with my thanks to all the Vets out there,
please believe me when I say, there are those of us that respect what you do on a
long term bases. We will NEVER forget what you do, and what you have done for our country.
Because of you, the Vet, is another reason I vote for Hillary Clinton.
She will bring troops home, first of all, with honor and responsibility.
Those that have done the jobs asked of them will not be lost in this.
GOD BLESS YOU our Vets.......stay safe, come home soon.
And God Bless America..............
Hillary Clinton...2008 Barak Obama.....2016
Today, the mission is corrupt and our soldiers are NOT being cared for upon returning from home. It is a disgrace. Funding needs to be stopped for the war, but increased dramatically long-term for our soldiers and their families - pay, medical, housing, education.
ACTION NEEDED, ORGANIZATION NOW
Please e-mail me at lassintucson@aol.com. We need to start organization to form a new party. I have absolutely had it. We need ads in newspapers all throughout the Country. First, to hire a Party Organizer. This time someone with experience, no rhetoric please. We need a contact, hope it one of you, for each state. This is from the ground up, so it will be in our houses. It will take us a while to organize, just like John Adams. We can vote on a representative from each State to help us move forward. It will be Saturdays knocking on doors, getting money from the John Doe working man, the woman that has been disinfrachised. Woman are the main base of the Party, it is time for a clean up from the bottom up. No Right Wing or Left Wing nuts, but a middle sensible person to lead us. No lies, no race baiting, no political spin, and absolutely no rhetoric - this will be for the people that truly matter - we the people!
We will hire a reputable accounting firm to really check the money, not the bull that both the Republicans and the Democrats have done.
NO POWER HUNGRY GOOF BALLS ALLOWED
The only way we got out of Vietnam was by cutting the funding. Senator Obama and Sen Clinton have NOT voted to cut the funding. I urge them to cut the funding the the mission in Iraq, so our troops can home home.
Negotiations (communication) and skills are the keys to prevent war. You've been brain washed with rhetoric...NEVER ok to war with others.
Just my humble opinion, so shoot me...whatever, I am peaceful minded, not a dope that believes government has any authority or right to kill or maim whenever they see fit. I'm not a republican either. :)
It sure is difficult to understand the outrage expressed by so many on this site about petty, personal nonsense when there are so many urgent issues we need to address.
For some of us, this war is personal. The way to support our troops is to bring them home from Iraq and end this debacle that Bush/Cheney & co. got us into.
My Question is what do you see? The other question is where in the world were you During Vietnam or 9/11?

Do you remember This attack.
Since you Brought it up BlueBerry, You point Fingers at the Bush Administration over Iraq, what about LBJ and Vietnam, Oh Wait a Minute a Democrat would not get The United States Military into a Conflict that they do not have a Snowball's Chance in Hades to win would they?
Do you Realize what your Blabbering Sounds like? You do realize that if it were not for Our Soldiers and our Democratic Society. The Actions of yourself and Many like you would have made you political Prisoners in Most Countries and would have had you shot and killed in a Public Display of Power to Show others like you what happens when you talk about a Leader.
Thank God for America and the American Way of Life.
In a Responsible Adult Democratic Society if you do not like something CHANGE IT.
If you do not like who is in Office, Do not vote for them, help those that campaign against them.
John Kerry Ran on His War Record, alot like McCain Did the First time. and they Lost, Kerry opened the Bag of Hornets and the Republicans seeing the Bag open agitated the Bag from a Far enough Distance that Kerry was the one that got stung, and the Democratic Party suffered for it.
We already Know that Bush cannot run again and that Cheney is not running either so they are out in the upcoming election. Stop Dwelling on it, Lets Work on Fixing the Future Stop Dwelling on the past.
I know that Americans have better since than what I have seen. All anyone seems to want now adays is to get their Name and Face on the News or on You Tube or something like that doing something Stupid. either looking like idiots Standing on a Street Corner, pretending to be Self Hating Republicans.
Speaking of Impeachment Does Anyone Remember this Old Chant IMPEACH CLINTON clapclap clapclapclap IMPEACH CLINTON clapclap clapclapclap , I believe that is why I switched back to the Republican Party, Yes I Voted for Clinton.
It seems that when Democrats get in Office, the strategy has been Create Scandal to take the peoples Minds off of what they are actually doing or not doing in the WHITE HOUSE. This is a Disgrace. I admit that the Media tends to make more of the Scandal than it is. but Did we really need or want to hear about Bill and Hillary's Bad Business Dealings in Arkansas.then when that was over, Bill had an Affair and she went public with it ( Big Surprise ) in the Age of 'Look at Me I had Sex with a Celebrity, and Now, I am rich and they are screwed because I am actually had consentual sex with them but am such a whore that I could not keep my mouth shut or my clothes on. (teeHEE). Lets see, I vaguely remember that UN Weapons Inspectors kept getting locked of Iraqi Nuclear Facilities, then Monica was not longer a headline so then came Round 2, Monica Lewinsky, I was a Prostitute and I slept with Bill now I am gonna write a book and make 10 million more dollars and gain 300 more pounds.

I myself work in the Private Security field and deal with Our Nation Main supply of Fuel for the power plants over much of the Nation.
Coal the True Black Gold, without Coal New York would be Dark, Most major Cities would be Dark, without power. Not Having Electricity would solve the problem of Cell Phones and Computers and kids getting fat and lazy playing X box and Play station instead of running and playing at the park. there would also be no power to pump the Precious Liquid Gold called Gasoline.

War is serious business. Those who start wars based on lies and fabrications are criminals on the order of mass murderers.
