I went to the Iraqi Coaltion Casualty Count website again today
http://icasualties.org/oif/default.aspx

I look here every day just to make sure the none of the guys I served with are on it. It's so depressing. My ex is still in the Army. I have several friends who are still in the Army.

My friends aren't on that list. That's the good thing. The bad thing is that there is always tomorrow. How can families do this, this watching and waiting?

I'm wondering too when my *-supporting sister is going to be sent back over. (She's Air Force.)

This is madness.

1. Sorry for these times.
Thanks for your service to our country.

And here's hoping military service will again soon be prized and not abused by our government.

2. I served under Bush 1st
He gutted the military. Man, I hate him almost as much as his idiot son.

Thanks for the thought. Veterans too often get crapped on by the government but never like this.

5. My dad was 20 years USAF, enlisted
I love him and I'm glad he came home safely and is still healthy and happy.

We don't agree on a damn thing, but I'm proud of him.

3. We Are The Minority It Seems
I am so outraged that all the Repukes who "Love and Support the Military" don't really give a red rat's ass.

4. I look everyday too
My nephew is somewhere in Iraq with the 82nd airborne, they said he would be home by Thanksgiving.....not! He served in Afghanistan and his 4 years were up when he got extended and redeployed. Hang in there!

6. They'll let 'Em Come Home AFTER the Election
Dontcha know. After the GOP has tampered with or "lost" their ballots, long after their stories about what's REALLY going on in Iraq can't hurt * sorry ass, and long past their own breaking points.

Please be ready to help our soldiers. They will need us more than ever when they come home.
