Can you guys rec the shit out of the following post?
Edited on Mon Nov-28-11 09:57 PM by MannyGoldstein
A real American hero, guy goes to Iraq thinking he's fighting for our rights, comes back and tries to exercise these rights, gets a ballistic wake-up call between the eyes with a side order of traumatic brain injury: he was only fighting for the 1%'s rights. Poor bastard didn't realize that the help should remain behind the scenes.

Please rec this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x638500

(I can't stand this bullshit anymore. As far as I can tell, only http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2198840">three national politicians have decried this absurd violence against peaceable people. Cowards!)

(NB: I didn't mean to rec *my* post. Rec the one I'm linking to. Unless, I guess, you want to give more visibility to both posts. Or whatever. Time for tonight's adult beverage.)

11. "A real American hero, guy goes to Iraq thinking he's fighting for our rights"
Now that's the part that drives me insane. It's not only Americans that thought they were going to Iraq/Afghanistan to fight for the preservation of their country, Canadians, British, Australians, and so many other NATO countries. Bush/Cheney did a major number on the world, but hey they still walk free among us.

We have been duped big time (if one believes the 911 story), sorry I don't.

29. Well @#$% me.
This is the strangest outcome for a post, ever. I guess it's like a contact high, or second hand smoke, or something.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for putting Cpl. Olsen on the front page, where he belongs. Every time I think about our nation's thank-you for putting his life on the line, well my blood ptessure soars.
