“THE WAR IS WRONG, WAY WRONG, BUT I HAVE TO PROTECT MY BUDDIES” THE HELL WITH MEANINGLESS NON-BINDING CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS-BUILD ANTI-WAR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS SOLIDARITY COMMITTEES!
Sometimes just a little incident or an impromptu remark brings home a point much better than paragraph after paragraph of journalistic commentary. To cut to the chase the subject is, as almost always these days, Iraq. Recently a non-commissioned soldier, a squad leader, I have known for a long time came back home from Iraq. As it turns out his unit is heading back for a second tour in the near future. That, however, is neither here nor there.
