Yeah that's totally ridiculous. You mean a president raised campaign money during wartime?!~? There's plenty of good reasons to dis on Bush, no reason to draw false correlations.

nah that's not what I mean....I think what bummed me out was the endless scroll of the dead.

the non battle fatalities, and what is up with those "died in sleep" ones! fuck

i'm outraged by "fall from roof".

 

[lizard]

my bud who is over there as a Major in a transportation unit says that "non-combat related gunshot wound" is a euphemism for suicide. Just like now they're using the innocuous "transfer tube" instead of body bag or coffin.

Couldn't it also be a metaphor for "forgot to check the chamber before cleaning"?

yup...which happens to coincide with the letter you got from your wife who's leaving your ass because Bush extended your combat tour and that was the last fucking straw.

which actually just kind of happened to the son of one of my coworkers. he got back from iraq and received his orders to Korea; his wife said wtg that sucks I'm out of here.
