1. And nobody gives a damn - just keep

it hidden and make fun of anyone who serves their country - prayers for the family.

2. What about Laci Peterson?

Or we could continue to have timeworn debates over a war that ended 31 years ago, rather than pay attention to the current generation's fraudulent war.

4. you are so right

the national media buries the stories of the cost of war-the lives, the money, the lack of a rational policy-it is a duty to serve and die and be quiet about it-this is what 45% of the country wants-the media deserves a special curse upon its head for dancing along into this hell without questioning-the free press is gone along with true patriotism-prayers for the families from us but don't count on Halliburton to shed tears-the stories of losses are hidden-like it is an embarrassment to have been killed in Iraq-makes you want to wretch

5. Only 42 to go until 1000.

And not a peep from the media. What a complete and total disgrace. They should be tried along with Bushco for war crimes.
