The Bush Mentality

There's a young soldier lying in the dirt on a foreign land, not sent there to defend America but to liberate some country that didn't have the will to do it themselves. Basically he is fighting for political points for a president that wouldn't go to combat himself. His flesh is split open, his blood pours out, his ears are deaf from the explosion and the last moments of his life are spent in shear terror and pain, thinking about his life and of never seeing his family again, a family that will be left to grieve and struggle the loss of a father, a husband. Meanwhile, the right wingers that sent him there are totally oblivious as they sit on their asses at home eating a fig Newton and bitching about the most important issue in their life: two unknown, consenting adults, somewhere touching each others pee-pees.
