The article is about the horrible loss of soldiers from an Ohio town these past few days in Iraq. I agree completely, it's horrible. All of our soldiers deaths and wounds are horrible. But what pisses me off is the attitude of this statement:

Shop manager Pat Wilsox, who said some of the reserves from the battalion frequent the doughnut shop, threw her hand over her heart when she heard the news that the unit had suffered more losses. "Oh my God," she said softly. "I'm all for protection, but this is getting a little bit ridiculous."

I'm curious how this woman voted. I know sometimes words taken out of context can be taken wrong, but this sounds to me like her attitude is - well all those other 1800 soldiers who died, well that was too bad. But now that it's happened to a few people from my hometown...NOW it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Sooooo...BEFORE it wasn't so bad since it didn't effect YOU personally, but NOW it's a "bit" ridiculous.

Sorry if I'm profiling here, but I'm guessing - Bush voter. Having a hard time admitting that her vote in some small way was the cause of those kids deaths.
