Monday, February 14, 2005 For many families, Valentine's Day will be about broken hearts As we celebrate Valentine's Day, let's please keep in mind the number of men and women who cannot spend the day with their loved ones. Like the family of Army Sgt. Curtis Greene, who committed suicide in December rather than face being sent back to Iraq, where he served. And if this 25 year old man's tragedy is not sad enough for you, then please read this article that exposes the ugly truth about a looming military draft. Here's my proposal for a solution that is absolutely fair and square: Draft Republicans. If you supported this trumped up war from the very beginning-- if you have no problem with this war being based upon absolute false pretenses-- if you think the the use of torture is just A-okay and that the Geneva Conventions should be used as toilet paper-- if you care zero percent about our needlessly dead soldiers and 100,000 dead Iraqis-- and you backed Bush by voting for him in 2004, then by all means...give Bush 110% of your undying support...go enlist or send your own kids into the military and become cannon fodder for his lies, inept decisions, and disregard for human life and rights and International Law. |
