       Marines "Marlboro Man" Is Home.

Heres a story for all you War Lovers out there. People Die for Bush's Lie, and the ones that make it home, are never the same.

L.A. Times
Iconic Marine Is at Home but Not at Ease

Excerpt:
The Marlboro Man from Iraq
Blake, whose only brush with celebrity was as a star quarterback in high school, became known as the Marlboro Man, a label he detests. That same notoriety has carried over into his post-Iraq life, where he is an icon of sorts for another consequence of the war — post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD...
He barely sleeps. On most mornings, Blake says, he has no good reason to get out of bed. Often, his stomach is so upset that he can't eat. He has nightmares and flashbacks. He admits that he's often grouchy and temperamental. He knows he drinks and smokes too much.....So he broods, feeling restless and out of options: "I'm only 21. I'm able-bodied as hell, yet I'm considered a liability. It's like I had all these doorways open to me, and suddenly they all closed on me. It's like my life is over."....
"I can't tell anymore what really happened and what I dreamed," he said. "Sometimes I feel like I'm dying.".....Meanwhile, he has slowly turned against the war. "We've done some humanitarian aid," Blake said, "but what good have we actually done, and what has America gained except a lot of deaths? It burns me up."

H.L.s Take:
What are the costs of war? 2400 U.S Soldiers Dead, 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, women, and children dead. Billions of Dollars wasted, money that could have been used to make things better here at home. Soldiers who make it back whose lives are ruined. All for what? Because Bush spread fear that some terrorist would "hate our freedom" and come over here and bomb us??? They hate us because of what we do to them, and why do we do it? So people like Bush, and Cheney can get rich on oil, and weapons. Weapons that we have to go out and blow up, so they can spend Billions more buying more weapons, that will also have to be blown up so we can buy more. I watched a show last night that is going to be on the History Channel soon, It was called something like "Stormfront" or some non sense. It was live action footage taken in 1991 during the first Iraq war. Of course this was all shot from a rah rah go U.S.A. point of view. The image that I came away from it was nothing more then Boys playing with toys. Very expensive toys that kill, and why were we there? because Saddam wanted to go into Kuwait, and since The Bush family had oil deals with Kuwait, we had to go in and protect the Bush family investments. Thats all it is. Nothing more, nothing less

They dont hate us because of what we do to them. Why do you constantly try to cut Americas enemies slack. The terrorists hate Israle and her #1 ally. Terrorists sponsering nations are the cause of it all. Israle kicked ALL THEIR ASS in 6 days. Now their all mad and cant get over it. They are just jealous of Israles and Americas power and prosperity. Afghanistan, and Iraq went down. Irans real close to getting dropped......Stay tuned Buck out....

hey anonymous,

it is true israel beat 6 arab countries in pre-emptive strike (with the help of heavy US weaponry paid by the work of Israeli-American lobby groups pressuring American Congressmen)
AIPAC is the most powerful lobby on the planet by the way.
No the reeal reason is because elected officials do whatever AIPAC and other Israeli-American lobby groups, if they don't they are out of a job in a few months.
That is why we go over and fight all of Israels enemies for her and why Arab countries hate us. We are supporting their destruction. Israel will never treat Arabs on their level because their Talmud and Torah specifically forbids it. My advice to you is to read it sometime.

Pre emptive strike my ass. The group of arab nations tried to destroy Israles existence. It was not a lobbyist that passed along the vital areial survey data to Israle commanders. But yes...an American general. Im proud of that. Israle opened up a can of "captain caveman" on their ass. The arab nations in question got stomped in humiliating and utter defeat. These nations understanding their military weakness have adapted. They have resorted to cowardly "jihad" and foolish "fahtwas". We have seen how Israle deals with these fools. I like it. I like it alot. Bush likes it. Most of America likes it. We like it enough that we have joined in on the tactic. To the poster above...My advise to you is to not go near Iran in the near future. They are about to join the nuclear club. Not the one they think....But the orther nuclear club...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It could get a little hot around there. Bush would nuke Iran in a California minuet and take his TEXAS time turning on the ringer to the surrender phone....Buck out
