What President Bush "Brought On"

I've caught a few of my anti-war friends (well, just my husband, really) not sympathizing with wounded troops in Iraq. That is, after all, the job they signed up for, right? Well, it's not quite the job they signed up for, in my opinion.

Just because these men and women have sworn to defend our nation, even thought they might die, doesn't mean that those in the White House (especially those that never took the same oath) have the right to use them as cannon fodder. To be very cold about it, soldiers are a resource, and our leaders are supposed to use that resource responsibly.

So when Dubya says "bring them on" to the attacks on our troops, let's just rememer it's this that's being so callously talked about.
