This piece by Bobby Muller was just posted at Huffingtonpost.com, and I know that Peace Vet and Medic would want it shared here. Please read it, if you haven't already.
A quote: "When my government asked me to serve, I did. I paid an immense personal price, and my country subsequently turned its back on me. I had been betrayed."
"As the war began to wind down and we became aware that our government lied about the necessity and purposefulness of the war, I became very angry and the betrayal that I felt was debilitating."
After four years of another unnecessary, purposeless war (unless you consider our domination of all the oil in the Middle East a valiant purpose for the sacrifice of our fighting men/women), we need to pay heed to what folks like Bobby, Peace Vet and Medic have to say. They've seen it, done it....and, unfortunately, been repaid abysmally.

Thanks for posting this MM. I really don't have anything to add to Bobby's essay. He's always been good about not beating around the bush and telling it like it is.
His intro on http://www.newc.com/theboots/top50/810820.html makes the boot all the more powerful and hard hitting.
I just heard a report that the stories we've been hearing are happening 3 fold.
One facility lost over 200 employees so the understaffing is rampant.
I wonder if these jobs are being contracted out t some of Dim Sons buddies.
Damn these bastids piss me off!
I wonder if the whole issue of control of the world's remaining oil reserves has been sidetracked somewhat by the "terrorist" propaganda smokescreen. And, in fact, does the Bush/Cheney coup d'etat think the rest of the world is going to continue sitting idly by while the U.S. grabs the oil? At some point China may want to have a say in what's going on. I wonder...has the Bush family cartel already started World War III?
