About that editorial, "Show troops you care", written on Memorial Day":

I am sure the guy who wrote it will sleep good tonight. After all he has done his part to support the troops. I bet he even has a 99 cent made in China yellow magnetic sticker on the back of his car*
It might be better to emphasise the truth to the troops and offer their families the solomn hope....
"Please don't get wacked. We need you home now more than ever. "
Unfortunately care packages are not enough and timidity on the editorial front while soothing is not nearly enough either. It's time to make a solid call for sanity and annoint the scoundrels who bullied us into this quagmire. My Memorial Dayvisions go all the way back to my year in Vietnam spent hauling the dead back to the morgues. Taps.
