TO ALL WHO ARE ARMED AND SHOUTING FREEDOM:

If you were a soldier you knew where you stood. Unless you were in Iraq being bombed and then told that your dead loved ones were collateral damage; unless you were in Sarajevo as the person next to you dropped dead from a sniper bullet ... you may not understand what it's like to be on the receiving end. If you were, then you do. In America there has been an ongoing war against Poor People, Homeless People, Gay Men, Lesbians, Black folk and Native Americans ... generations traumatized by wars against who-they are. No, I stand by my comment. A nice clean war of Good Guys (us) versus Bad Guys (them) is far kinder than what I've seen and experienced. That said, many American soldiers come back from foreign wars (not one war on the American mainland since the Civil War) severely injured, and worse, traumatized. I do not doubt that. But all wars aren't fought with guns and clear battle lines, and some folks don't seem to care unless someone who looks like them is dying.
