Child abuse in uniform

[Bragi]

Bulger said his nephew didn't talk to him much about his work in Afghanistan.

"He loved his country and wanted to do his part," Bulger said.

Cpl. Bulger is survived by his wife, Rebeka, a four-year-old daughter and a two-year-old daughter who live in Edmonton, his uncle said.

"He was a family man. He loved his kids, loved his family."

He so loved his wife and kids that he voluntarily went off to war and got himself killed. Right. A real "family man", for sure.

If we are going to engage in wars of choice abroad, then we have to stop recruiting young adults with children to join the military.

Leaving young children back home while one of their parents goes off to make war is nothing short of child abuse.

Part Of what? Canada has no business being in a war or any other kind of conflict in Afghanistan. The Conservatives are only trying to bag their share of foreign oil down there, pure and simple. The flag waving sickos that cheer them on to go over there and die for George W. Bush's "policies" and Haliburtons corporate well being are patriotically retarded! In WW1 and WW2 there was an evil that had to be dealt with, and, being part of the Limy world, we had to go. But, it was a worthwhile effort even if we hadn't been tied to the Brits, who, incidentally, gave the Alaska pan handle to the Yanks in a dispute after WW2 for payment of the lend-lease deal between the US and Britain as thanks to bailing them out. There is no honor in this conflict, and it only serves to create more heartbreak to those whose loved ones die there. Bush is gone... get Canadians out of there and put them back in Peace keeping roles and helping the world rather than bleeding men and women and Canadian tax dollars on a war with no honor.
