    No djr41den, fuck you!

    You lost all respect for "those people"? Lady you got your ass so high you could shit in a mailbox.

    It's true many young men a and women signed up to fight, or went into the National Guard looking for a college degree. But they weren't as smart as you are. You trump them in every way, don't you? You didn't fall for that propaganda. They must be some real dumb shits to go to Iraq, get their asses shot off, get burned up, blown up, fucked up.

    But that's how it is with young people. Some are not smart. Some only get smart after they come back. And then they run into some fuckin' goddamn smartass like you who never stops reminding them of what a a bunch of dumb shits they were.

    What a miserable sorry ass piece of shit you are.

    Nobody asked you! Nobody asked you to wave the flag or put a support the troops ribbon on your car, but as a Vietnam combat vet who hates Bush and wants our troops out of Iraq, I would appreciate it very much if you would just step back and keep your fucking mouth shut when our young men and women come marching home, or crawling home, or wheeling home in a chair, because you fucking bitch, you're not fit to lick their spit off the sidewalk.
