Re: my nephews are going to iraq
War sucks, When I think about it,, Its almost like two fathers who can't get along so they send their kids to fight their battles, then make up shit to blame the war on. The sad part is that the governments get away with it because these young kids all have ragging hormones, are looking for something to do, and believe they are doing the right thing, I know, I served in VietNam. Uncle Sam wants you to be patriotic to your country but where have all the american jobs and benifits gone to? To foreign countries!! thats the real kicker. I dont see my country being patriotic to us.

Re: my nephews are going to iraq
Its a very sad state of affaires when this country spends more money on the prison system then they spend on the school system. They have flooded this country with uneducated immagrants, gave our jobs away, and now we have a work force earning from 8 to 15 dollars per/hr across the board with little or no benifits and we can work all the overtime we want, isnt that fucking wonderfull. And we think they abolished slavery huh,, just put a different face on it.

Re: my nephews are going to iraq
the ironic thing, hh, is both of them are corrections officers. half their unit are corrections officers. the money certianly isn't spent on their salary. the garbage men make more.
neither of them want to go, jason's first baby is due the end of september. johnny has 2 younguns.
damn

Re: my nephews are going to iraq
they wouldn't. i wish they would. but i think cousin bill had connections.(hey, he's from arkansas. he could be my cousin)
but i'm not feeling very patriotic these days. i pine for the anti-war rallies & riots.
change the words to "the-i-feel-like-i'm-fixing-to-die rag" and go sit in front of some government hq or something.

Re: my nephews are going to iraq
poor kid had to sit down and put his head between his knees during the delivery. jen breezed right through it.
she is a beautiful baby, long black hair and real long eyelashes. now my sister has an even dozen grandkids.
i'm sure he's seen a lot worse at work. i just hope the worst thing he sees there is a paper cut.
