"The last time 1st Lt. William “Eddie” Rebrook IV saw his body armor, he was lying on a stretcher in Iraq, his arm shattered and covered in blood.
A field medic tied a tourniquet around Rebrook’s right arm to stanch the bleeding from shrapnel wounds. Soldiers yanked off his blood-soaked body armor. He never saw it again.
But last week, Rebrook was forced to pay $700 for that body armor, blown up by a roadside bomb more than a year ago.
He was leaving the Army for good because of his injuries. He turned in his gear at his base in Fort Hood, Texas. He was informed there was no record that the body armor had been stripped from him in battle.
He was told to pay nearly $700 or face not being discharged for weeks, perhaps months."
Outo tapa kiittää miehiä, jotka ovat valmiita uhraamaan itsensä kansakunnan puolesta.

Enemmän olisin vaatimassa korvausta niille kymmenilletuhansille irakilaissiviileille joita nämä palkkasotilaat jatkuvasti tuoavat. On videoita joissa _pojat_ huvittelevat tarkkuusammuntaa pudottelemalla autosta irakilaissiviilejä jalkakäytäviltä ja muista autoista .

Sitten on videoita, joissa Saddam-mieliset irakilaiset katkovat ulkomaalaisten insinöörien kauloja. Sitten on videoita Saddamin poikien tappamista kurdeista. Sitten on.....
Sopii valita, näitä on joka lähtöön. Valitsetko sen, mikä eniten mieltäsi kuohuttaa, sen mikä eniten aiheuttaa vihaa? Tekeekö viha sinut onnelliseksi?
Viha on maallista, viha ei ole pyhää. Leppyminen ja anteeksianto ovat sankariutta.
Nimimerkille tiedoksi, että USA on maailman ylivoimaisesti suurin kansantalous. Kysymykseen, onko USA:n "rahat vähissä", pitää hakea tietoa Kansantalouslaitoksilta, eikä jostakin asenteellisesta, varmaankin paikkaansapitämättömästä lehti-kirjoituksesta.
USA:n vuosittainen budjetti on muistaakseni 1200 mrd dollarin luokkaa, että valtava kansantalous pyörii muita maita selvästi korkeammalla tasolla.
