1. Comeon....

There is more to this story. How does a soldier drown in a swimming pool? Drunk? Drugs? High Dive? Did he have help? Was he swimming alone (which I kinda doubt, having been in a few pools used by the military around the world, including in a war zone. Questions. Questions. Questions.

In Vietnam they had PXs....you could buy all the liquor you wanted and cheap too....no taxes. I used to get Crown Royal for about 4 bucks. I'm sure there is a supply of booze available to the troops. I'm willing to bet money on it and it aint just beer either.

Plus drugs are available. Hell, in Vietnam they were selling the stuff on every street corner. You don't think the Iraqi's are smart enough to do that?

3. does it matter? he's dead either way

If it were my son, it wouldn't matter.

Bush started this war of aggression.
No soldier would even be there if not for the PNAC lies.
Bush Powell Perle Rumsfeld Cheney all lied for this
illegal war.

Thats who to blame. Period.

4. It matters in one respect......

Since this was an "accident" it will not be counted as a combat death further masking criticism of Bush Co.
