- The sad thing is that soldiers coming back from Iraq and other places of conflict are not given the proper mental health that they should be getting. I have never served in the military and dowubt they would even take me now, but I have always felt that they people who do serve deserve nothing short of the best this country has to offer them in any kind of medical benefits. They took an oath and volunteered of their own accord. If we just leave them hanging in the wind we all should be ashamed for that. They have seen and done things that no "normal" person should ever see or do. And the human psychie can only take so much before it just gives out on a person. We all have our different breaking points.

- Ever wonder what vaccine additives, slammed into recruits upon enlistment, and more before deployment, might add to the mental condition of these soldiers? Mercury, aluminum, anti-freeze and formaldehyde (to name a few) aren''t exactly healthy for anybody''s thought processes. My niece the formerly lean mean killing machine was a wreck shortly after arriving in Kuwait, now on disability with Fibromyalgia. How did that happen?

- We need weapons in our society like we need smallpox. What we really need is sanity, which translates to a total firearms ban for civilians. Period!All firearms, big and small. No private ownership. No exceptions. Just like in Europe.Posted by schoollord at 01:46 PM : Jan 31, 2008
schoollord! Sorry to have to bust your ballon,but even though gun ownership is illegal in many european countries, somehow or other the criminals still have lots of them.Plenty of people are still being killed by guns because criminals have a nasty habit of thumbing their noses at the law.
Guns can be used to protect or can be used to kill, just as knives can be used to cook or can be used to kill. It all comes down to who''s behind the instrument. - Reply to this comment

Like the armywife says ---- support our troops

- Support out troops. That means giving them the tools to do the job asked of them, Giving them the proper protection to keep them safe while diong that job and caring for them when they come home. It is that simple. They should have the same medical care that our congress has, NO LESS. They should be able to walk into ANY hospital in the country and get treetment for ANY issue at ANY time no questions asked. The way the government treets them now it is like they are trying to steel something. Yet all the while congress gets tax dollar paid treetment for anything. This includes alcohol and drug related issues and std issues. I resent paying for these self induced issues while our troops are treated to filth and rats. This Nation is embaressing. You should all be ashamed.

Now THIS is a NAZI!! There IS no options here!! You are either a member of the "Party" or you are a Marxist, Socialist or Communist!! Talk about a Small mind!! When people are NOT heard, when peoples opinions AREN''T look at, we all loose. History has proven this over and over again. I''d advise everyone who cares about this nation to ignore IDIOTs like this. I mean it''s not like they have been right about ANYTHING up to this point. Those they do NOT want you to listen too? They have been right from day one. Sieg Heil Bush - Reply to this comment
- Liberals simply do not use deception as a political tool.

Right. They use VIOLENCE instead. That is why you won''t permit your liberal projects to be liberal-funded and conservative projects to be conservative-funded. Surely the evangelical war hawks (and the commie welfare sickos) would think twice if a gun were waved in their faces and they were forced to PAY FOR PRECISELY WHAT THEY CONDONE.
It is only when OTHERS are violated that liberals seem to think their ideas are good. By that same token the sick war-fetishists (McCain et al) will never pay for what they propose to do -- steal money and murder. - Reply to this comment
- Look, my brother committed suicide 2 years ago. Stuck a 22 pistol in his mouth, pulled the trigger. The bullet bounced off his lower molars and ricocheted through his brain and out of the back of his skull. We had to mop up the blood off the kitchen floor so his wife could come back in and cook breakfast for their daughter. He wasn''t supposed to have a gun, but he hid the parts in various places around the house and then wired it together when his wife left to shop. It sucks and I miss him every day, but it doesn''t make me feel any differently about guns and it sure doesn''t make me feel any differently about this article because this is about the *** WAR, NOT GUN CONTROL. JESUS!
