Reply #3: Consider also that many reservists and Guards from small communities [View All]

are likely to be first responders for emergencies in their rural communities. Lots of reservists and guards have the training which makes them ESSENTIAL to the safety of their communities. How the hell are we safer with them in Iraq, giving cover for the biggest heist in history?

We know our fallen. They are neighbors, kith & kin. And it is having one hell of an impact on what people in rural communities think about this war. Sure, there are those few die-hards who will not face reality and still support the idiots in the junta, but most have seen the light.

When you start burying kids from your tiny community, and no one can give you an answer as to why, it brings the issue home. The GOP is losing ground in the heartland as we walk back from small cemeteries.
