  "Courage is pulling your buddy back to safety under fire"...or out of the war entirely, possibly?

  I'm gonna try some common sense on you here, Chuckles (I hope you don't mind if I call you Chuckles---Xanthro seems so formal), as pointless as some may think it is. It goes like this: who do you think gives more of a damn about the soldiers as living, breathing people---the so-called 'Lefties' who think those poor folks should be spared the indignity of being maimed and killed in Iraq, or TV-tanned burger-butt Hawks like YOU who love the catch-phrases ('serving our country' or 'supporting our troops', etc) but seem to think the actual people getting shredded in that nasty-assed dessert are expendable up to a certain large number (to be determined by you)? Me, I think that one guy dying over there is too many. One chick getting her legs blown off is already not worth it. And I notice no Bush or Cheney cousins have bought the farm in a violent fashion on foreign soil in the last two terms either, but that's another story.

  Damn, Chuck, why don't you just go pick some cotton for your masters while you're at it? You and Chloe both! Maybe you two will get an Obedience Award or something! Hell, you already got a Dumbass Lifetime Achievement Certificate!
