9. Every person I know that has been sent is a woman |
|
I know two people who were sent to Iraq. Both are women. One is the mother of two children. They joined the reserves to get money for college. One is black and one is Hispanic.
The one that is a mother went when we invaded. Stayed 12 months and came home. Now they are talking about sending her back again. The one that is there now has been extended. She should have been home in January. Both of these situations will end in divorce. Is this "family values"? What is this doing to their children?
What kind of a country sends young mothers to fight wars so they don't have to have a draft. Has anyone noticed how few white boys are going over there? Why aren't people talking about this?
