Funeral for a friend
I went to a funeral for Capt. John J. McKenna USMC and a fellow Trooper today. I went through the academy with him and now he's gone. That make's it 4 people I've known who have died in Iraq. I got so mad when I saw his weeping mom walking away from his grave with a folded flag clutched tightly in her hands. She should have her son not a piece of fucking fabric!!!! I'm tired of watching good americans die for a worthless cause. We are spending 51% of our national budget on the military industrial complex to fight terror. 2,900 people died on 9-11. 400,000 people died from smoking related causes and 40,000 in car accidents in 2005 in the country. Why are americans so afraid of terror that we let the president run rampant on the world and our civil rights? We let his friend's companies have no-bid contracts. We let him destroy Arab countries and alienate or allies which only creates more terrorists and anti-american animosity in the world. I wish someone would do a scientific study and figure out "For every terrorist we kill we create ___ more." I'll bet that number is higher than 1. AHH I'm not happy today!
