A Post of Note...

"Beautiful Dead Girls". They are seldom mentioned in the press, but they do the work too.

Fuck you, George Bush, and all of your crowd. Because of all the boys and girls. Why couldn't you have settled for a blow job?

I'm posting the link as well. We need to get the word out that people are dying for a tyrant's whim.

Yes, this needs wider coverage. But the establishment always hides the role of women, alive or dead, if it was anything of note. Like it doesn't want to talk about the female Confederate soldiers who were shot down at the stone wall in Pickett's charge.

And unfortunately, I can see this being used as political fodder for "Why women shouldn't be in the military." Damned one way or the other.

I need to link this...

And then you point out that Israel has had women fighting and dying in their army since its inception.

Fuck. Warn me next time. I'm sitting here at work in tears.

Thanks for the link. At least here, they refer to them as "our sons and daughters" and the notices in the paper are for "service members". Maybe because it's a military town and you see so many young women in uniform around here. Really sad in court a few months back, a young couple was giving custody of their children to relatives because they were both deploying to Iraq, again.

Sorry about that. I thought the title and the comment was warning enough.
