Being raised on Military bases, this letter pretty much reflects so much about the civilian menatality that goes on across the country. Thousands dead and maimed and not one mention of them. Indicative of most civilians in this country. His friend does not need to take his kids South, simply go vist a military hospitol, millitary housing, military funeral.

Although I did not enlist after witnessing and experiencing the carnage of Vietnam on my family, I hold a tremendous amount of respect with those who have served and those dealing with the consequences of the current admistrations decision to go to war that did not need to be founght or if so, was conducted so poorly that thousands have paid the price for their arrogance and lack of first hand experience with combat.

I am glad to hear things are all well on the porch for you and yours. Go visit base housing and take a look people, it is not all sweetness and light for these people...go visit with a kid who has lost their parent. What so many civilians in this country do not realize is that nice day on the porch was the result of someone else doing the heavy lifting.

Lets see, 4000 plus dead, 30,000 plus maimed, how many dead Iraqis?

Multiply this by spouse, dependents, family.

These years have been horror filled on so many levels.

Seven years of lieing and denying and general unethical activity.

Firing Military professional who disagreed with going into Iraq and at/troops levels, and on and on and on and on.

Those out there still scratching their heads might consider having the insides of their head examined.

Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough, Enough.

The US can not kill and drill our way out of this mess.

I have been offered sim. work in the past and refused.

Sure, goes on all the time but is still pathetic.

Have a good day.

It is a sad fact that all of these show promote pathetic male behavior. You cd. have added Dexter to this list-glorifying a killer who mutilates bodies and dumps them into the ocean. All of these television productions have no value what so ever.

Those entertained by such garbage are eqaully pathetic.

There are millions of men and women in this country who work hard to live a decent life, focus upon their family, participate in their communities, work jobs which serve their communities, the country, and others but programing such is rewarded.

Charectors such as the one in entourage that one an Emy wd. get his ass stomped in anywhere but the hollywood circle.

And of course, there are sim. shows which promote sim. female behvior.

Trash is trash.

I feel bad for those kids, spouses and family who have lost their fathers, mothers, sons, spouses, sons, and duaghters.

I have a limited supply of sympathy and do not waste it on people such as her.

I hate to say this, really, but admirers of this woman need their head examined.

Although I can give Palin credit for getting to wear she is a Gov. and so forth, it is also clear her greatest assest in AK was her looks. I have been to Alaska and think it is a great place. As a result, I am very aware of the shortage of females in that corner of the country and an attractive female up there can work it. I have scene her little cutesy, cutesy eye rolls and the rest of her crap. I hate it when women do such at all and esp. have no patience, no sympathy, for a woman to do so in position to be president.

Add to this being part of a religion that "speaks in tongues" let alone her well advertised ignornace on just about everything...........

if the Ds loose this race, there will not be enough liquor to drink away my sorrow.

I am voting for BO but S.P. did not blow it.

She controlled her end of the debate-"I may not give the answeres you want...I am going to speak directly to the people"

She used the debate as free airtime to conect with "her people."

For those of us who know she is dangerously unqualified for all the reasons we know she is, it did not matter what she said.

For those who are still undecieded, tried did a good job of making it clear, she is one of them.

She also used the unbelievable words "never again" to say hello to the Jewish voters.

Her eye winks and the rest of her country jargon, down home b.s. was all so sickening.

Still, contrary, she did not blow it, she actually suceeded because she simply did not completly blow it which is a sad reflection of the canidate and person she is.
