Day 79- A Dead Horse

The current administration owes the american people an apology. Simple as that. We are stuck in a place that we don't want to be and our sons and daughters are being killed everyday. The violence escalates and then it subsides for a day only to become more violent in the days to come. The administration counts those days where only one or two bombs go off as a victory for democracy. To date the defense department has acknowledged the death of 1706 American soilders. The military is in dire straits in terms of having enough personel these days. Television stations across the board are running commericals that are pretty much begging people to join the national guard, army, air force, marines (the commercials are even running as one of the precursers to number of films in wide theatrical release. I recall there being one before Stars Wars III that was not very well received) The part that they don't tell you about in these things is that they will immediately send you to Iraq after your 12 weeks of basic training because this is their only resource now, so the commerical should actually say something like "Join the National Guard...so you can go to Iraq and die in a war that was absolutely misrepresented to the American public and is continuously being reinvented with some new cause and some new reason for us being over there"

I'm off to the ER to help brighten some people's day. Stick a fork in me....
