It's amazing how it still holds up. Whenever I listen to old punk songs decrying the paranoia towards the east, I replace "communism" with "terrorist" and it's remarkable how timely it remains.<BR/><BR/>President Bush laying wreaths at veterans' graves is a travesty. He might as well be pissing on it - it would be just as honest. He doesn't care. He's going to his grave with no doubts that he did a good, righteous thing. That might be the biggest tragedy of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>As someone with friends who have served and died over there, an AWOL fratboy "honoring" their sacrfice ON A FUCKING LIE is probably the most offensive thing I have ever seen in my entire life.Matt Ramonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917325259608545902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-33627072439918797812008-05-25T00:30:00.000-07:002008-05-25T00:30:00.000-07:00A tribute to all those soldiers in Korea, Vietnam,...A tribute to all those soldiers in Korea, Vietnam, Granada, and Iraq, whose sacrifice has made a difference to our freedom.Matt Ramonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917325259608545902noreply@blogger.com
