Bushco however...
A letter from Thomas Young
Less than three years later, Young's Army service placed him not in Afghanistan -- where then-President George W. Bush had told the nation the terrorist plot had originated -- but in Iraq. On April 4, 2004, just five days into his first tour, Young's convoy was attacked by insurgents. A bullet from an AK-47 severed his spine. Another struck his knee. Young would never walk again, and in fact, for the next nearly nine years, he would suffer a number of medical setbacks that allowed him to survive only with the help of extensive medical procedures and the care of his wife, Claudia.
The incident turned Young into one of the most vocal veteran critics of the Iraq War. He has, however, saved his most powerful criticism for what he claims will be his last. Young says he'll die soon, but not before writing a letter to Bush and former Vice President Cheney on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War.
From Young's letter, published on TruthDig:
I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americansmy fellow veteranswhose future you stole.

Where was your outrage Darrell... where? You are a stupid mindless bastard, as is the rest of your party. You lost your souls. I sincerely hope you all rot in hell!
Our President is pissed and rightfully so.
This is the most disgusting display of partisan politics that I have ever seen. Hypocrites oh yeah they are.
I weep for this country, that they are set out to destroy.
Gotta go to sleep, Cha. Will talk to you tomorrow

That the "side show" was Dishonoring those who were killed and as you've posted those pics from the Service and stated in your orginal post.. "We Honor Our Dead".
Good night, she.. wishing you a restful night's sleep after your big Day on the Political Trail.

(1,135 posts)I read yours, SheShe. Was reading from the earliest, up
I see you and others here are as upset as I am.
I keep praying that truth and honor will win out and to not be discouraged. That we will weather this and go on. But it's getting harder to believe all that, knowing how powerful the forces are, working against President Obama..........
