Oh God! I got cold hands and teary eyes reading this link I found at Brian Kane’s .
The bodies of U.S. soldiers killed by chemical or biological weapons in Iraq (or future wars, God save us all!) may be bulldozed into mass graves and burned to save the lives of surviving troops, under an option considered by the Pentagon.
Apocalyptic images come to my mind and I wonder what Americans who have family members in the armed forces feel when thinking at the possibility of their loved ones being bulldozed and burned after being killed with the horrid weapons their own country has in stock too. God gracious! But no… let’s go to war, people! War is good, war will make justice, war will make us feel good, war will save who the heck, war is what we want, yeah! Those bulldozed and burned soldiers will be “just” war casualties. How does that sound? I’m nauseated.
Well, just for the record, not all of us in the US want to see war… and No, I wouldn’t want the bulldozing either.
There’s probably less of us who want this war (other than the politicians) than do. I remember what it was like when my brother went off to VietNam… no, I do not want a war, as for bulldozing, nope, I don’t “want” that either.
This whole thing is making me sick. I couldn’t even watch the State of the Union address – just five minutes into it the Hollywood production clapping just drove me insane.
All we can do is pray. Pray, pray, pray!!!
