brother came home then brother left. back to iraq. cried. my whole family did. watched him board the plane that could take him away from us forever. he walked down the little hall thing to his plane. didn't turn around. dad half carried mom back to the car. we had special clearance. military family, and all. we had to send him back to the worst place in the whole world. i fucking LOVE my family. i would kill for my brother. and more importantly, i would die for my brother. but instead, statistically speaking, according to the percentages of people in his position and in his location who are in his location for the same period of time that he is, he will die for me. and every other lousy fucking american. "support the troops"... like anyone even knows what that fucking means. you can stand by your country, you can justify this meaningless war. but you're not supporting the troops because THEY DON'T WANT TO BE THERE. ask one of them. ask any of them. they all want to fucking come home. if you voted for george bush, you don't support your fucking troops, you don't even respect them.
ask any one of them who they would vote for, if their vote was counted.
fuck this war.
fuck this country.
fuck this president.
i want my brother back. whole.
