Do Their Votes Count?

Eight Nine more U.S. soldiers are coming home in pieces in body bags.

"... I see the United States mounting a treadmill that goes ever faster -- so fast it seems almost impossible now to get off. Yet I am convinced that we must get off that treadmill and that we can. The hour is late, but I believe this nation of ours has the brains, the know-how, the courage, the imagination to begin to extricate itself from a war we should never have blundered into." -- Reprinted from Congressman's Report, Morris K. Udall, 2d District of Arizona, October 23, 1967.

Same as it ever was.

Pithy title, Mr. Bill.

I read earlier about those Marines being killed and I wondered if the politicians even noticed, except to calculate how the news would affect their campaigning.

Now my generation is becoming cynical and suspicious of our country's leaders because of a poorly planned and executed 'war'...

Can someone please tell me where they count the ones who come home injured and then die?
