I'm stealing this from
Poobah, I suggest you steal it from me. Let's help make every single American aware of this. "This", by the way, is a
letter from Kevin Tillman, brother of Pat. He is a veteran, and so has earned the right to say these things, for those of you who think it
needs to be earned, rather than being a priviledge of being an American. A few sample lines:
Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes.
Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground.
Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send soldiers to die for an illegal invasion they started.
Read the whole thing, it gets better. Then, as Kevin encourages, go out November 7, and remember these words as you vote.

Thanks for the linkage, but more importantly, thanks for linking to the story. It's a powerful one that needs to be heard.
Nice post. I just wrote on this same article from a slightly different perspective.
Ironically, these soldiers are being exploited by the same generation that spit at the returning Viet Nam vets.
Thanks for the link. I agree entirely with you, and the Tillman family.
