makes all the little problems we all worry about seem out of scale, especially when someone is that much an optimist and is turning to the future with such enthusiasm

Yup, our unnecessary and bogus "wars" that inflicted all the injuries on this brave young man were sure worth it, weren't they, America?

This is all because of that man child Bush deciding that all good pres dints are judged as good by history if they goes out and haves themselves a good ole fashioned and glorious war. Even if no vital national interests are at stake.

You know you got a bogus war when the reasons for having it in the first place change every three months while your conducting it.

Step One - go to War no matter what
Step Two - while in the middle of your war, brainstorm new reasons for why you did it.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Makes perfect sense. This brave patriotic young mans sacrifices were so worth it!
