2. That made me breathless; what are we doing to these people?
All of them? And why? I wish I had one decent reason, but there isn't one.

3. If it's right, that's about four times the national average.
Sad.

4. I'd be one of them...
If I had to participate in Bush's slaughter of Iraq. Really, a lot of soldiers don't have a choice. If you are a troop, you go when called, though I do respect those who object and fight it in this instance. I don't know how many people were in the military before Bush stole office, but I did not re-up because of that possibility. I knew he'd start this goddamned war with Iraq. I had total faith that if Clinton called for war, it would be justified. I feel really bad for our soldiers under Bush. Our troops should never be used to fight a unjustifiable war in order to 'up' some fucktard's political capital. This is a tragedy that will haunt this nation for decades to come.

5. Don't have a choice? They didn't think they did, sadly.
I can't imagine feeling that way, so hopeless.
