When you get lowlifes like Nixon, Bush and Cheney and the kind of people that join there sick team, it becomes monumentally more difficult for subordinate military members to hold on to your integrity and loyalty to the ideals that founded our nation. That in no way is meant to excuse the terrible damage that the Cheney propagandist have done to our nation.

On one hand, I'm from a military family. On the other, I'm a pacifist who has no sympathy with militaries. However, the damage done to the military by such contemptible chickenhawks as Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney and his fellow Neo-Con[artists] does command my sympathy for those in the military who are not the moral cowards, etc. (Among the moral cowards: Graham Lindsey, especially as he is allegedly JAG.)
Most especially for the kids who in good faith believed, and are now dead, or permanently maimed -- mentally, physically, and spiritually.
I didn't read the article, but there was a piece in the Washington Post reporting that the remains of some of the dead were cremated in a pet incinerator. Bushit, et al., ordered us to "Support the troops" because they aren't about to.
