Mother of GI shot to death in Iraq: "We cannot Ignore Anymore What is Going on In Iraq"

Question:

What?  He joined not expecting that he might go to combat? …

He joined to protect the USA, not get killed in Bush’s illegal invasion of a nation which had nothing to do with 9/11 and posed no threat.

Response:

McCafferey had joined the National Guard on the day after the Sept. 11 attacks with hopes of helping the country recover – he never expected to serve in combat. What?  He joined not expecting that he might go to combat?  (and spare the Bush National Guard shit here)

The National Guard has traditionally been used domestically for crises and disaster relief.  Only the Emperor Bush has pressed it into foreign adventurism. –Jeff — Americans will always do the right thing – after they have exhausted every other possibility.  –Winston Churchill Loyalty to the country always, loyalty to the government when it deserves it. –Mark Twain Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum. We’re marching for freedom today-ay! So turn on your headlights and sound your horn, if people get in the way.  –Neil Innes
