Pfc. Kevin A. Cuming, 22, of North White Plains, N.Y., died August 21 in Baghdad, Iraq, when his patrol came under rocket-propelled grenade attack. Cuming was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.
I knew this young man. He wasn't in my class, but we went to school together. My sister was friends with his sister. His mom and my mom were friends. We used to go to the same community pool. He was a coworker for a while, before he left to join the army. Our families weren't in contact much after Kar'ell and his sister graduated, save for seeing his mom in the store every once in a while. I didn't even know he was in Iraq.
He shouldn't have been there. None of our troops should be there. And yes...American soldiers have been dying all this time, and I'm not the first person to feel this grief....
I'd damn George W. Bush to the deepest, darkest Hell, but, no...I want him to live forever.......and spend every single day of that dying one death or another, over and over. I knew from the start of his election that he was going to do stupid things. This hasn't just been stupid, it's beyond horrible. I want to see his ugly ass in fatigues, out in the desolation that is Iraq, fighting alongside our soliders, because right now I label him a lying coward and a fucking moron.
FUCK YOU, George W. Bush, and FUCK YOU George Bush "Sr" for BREEDING in the first place and then allowing Junior to play with your goddamned toys.
Kevin was only 22, for God's sake. Yeah, he honorably gave his life for his country -- in a war we shouldn't be in right now. A life he'd barely begun to live.
I hope you're real fucking proud of yourself, Mr W. Bush, and I really hope you no longer sleep at night. You just keep robbing young men and women of the futures they deserve more than they deserve to be serving your whim. You've defiled their noble intentions of protecting this country by sending them on your stupid, fucking, immature crusade.
