Barak Obama said it and got grief and John McCain echoed it and
immediately flopped and flipped (only Dems can flip flop) but
nevertheless, many are still thinking it. And that is that the
lives lost in this ill begotten Iraq war of choice have been
“wasted”. Frankly, we prefer the term “wasted deaths” because
these lives were on the whole bravely lived by men and women who
volunteered to serve their country, and up until their untimely ends,
were anything but wasted. Oh, and the idea that we have to keep
on to honor the dead, was first floated in another war of choice,
Vietnam, and get this, the records show that argument was initially
used when we had less than 100 dead in RVN, with 50,000 to go.
Our heroes in D.C. knew which arguments, and draft, to dodge, huh?
