NO MORE BRAVE YOUNG LIVES, BUSH!!!!

My son called tonight from Georgia, where he has been stationed since returning from Iraq in February. He was in Iraq for a year and will have been in the Army four years this summer. He just re-enlisted a month or so ago, for three more years, to a "non-deployable unit." Unfortunately, the contract he signed doesn't matter now that President Bush is deploying 21,500 more troops to Iraq. They need someone to do my son's job in Iraq. They will take my beautiful young son.

 
If they kill my son. I will not be proud. I will be heartbroken and disgusted by the waste, just as I have been for all of the others. My son's friend was critically  wounded on Jan. 5. Last night his fever spiked to 108 degrees. He has spinal fluid leaking into his body and they think he is going to die now. WHY? WHY? WHY?
 
No More Brave Young Lives for the Gleam in Bush's Eyes! Bring 'em home!
