Today is the 26th Anniversary of the Invasion of Grenada
Let us commemorate the 19 US soldiers killed and 116 wounded in the first major US military action after the Vietnam War.

Reagan picked a soft target in his first effort to lick the "Vietnam" syndrome. It met with massive popular approval at the time and set the mold for many other invasions to follow, some of which we are still mired in today.

I was calling Reagan a sorry bastard mother fucker and some other similar, and fitting, obscenities.

2. It was the official kick-off of his re-election campaign
Republicans sure like those glorious patriotic wars to keep our minds off the economic pain.
