Rich man's war; poor man's blood.

So true and now it is even more blatantly fucked up than ever before--because we, as a country, at least from the top down perspective, are more fucked up than ever before.

Our leadership sucks; they don't give a fuck about us.

All they care about is "shareholder profits" and unless you own a big (and I mean BIG) wad of stock in Halliburton, or Blackwater, or Exxon or some other rich white boy tool then why in the Hell would you give a shit about fighting in Iraq?

Can you tell me?

If someone invades our country we will ALL take to the streets to stop them with steak knives and baseball bats and anything else we can find. But this war in Iraq is ONLY about money and the trickle down theory on that money "don't trickle down too damn far".

AND . . . If we truly want to show our support to our troops why don't we do something unique like take care of them when they come home and help them then and not throw them to the curb if they are no longer "effective".

In business, people are "resources" to be plugged in wherever and discarded whenever. That sucks but the military is worse. If the Army gave a shit they would not let these men and women suffer in such dreadful circumstances after they are injured--and you can be injured mentally as well as physically.

This is class warfare against the poor. Our poor.

Stop this war. NOW. Bring the troops home in a safe orderly way. It has been too long, long long ago. Stop the war NOW.
