. . . Wounded Warrior Project? Notice how many of those guys were in Cheney's Iraq War.

I put guys in body bags in Vietnam or loaded them on medevac birds wondering if they would live. Damn near everyone of them should have been back home with their girlfriends in the back seat of a '57 Chevy.

Sherman had people like Cheney in mind when he said this:

"War is at best barbarism. . . . Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."
