Things you should know:

You probably shouldn't be here.

I have no arms and I must wipe my butt.

Before we nuke Iran can we think about something? From all I can tell, we have severely damaged our military with this cluster-fuck in Iraq. So what about our people in country that don’t get killed? The lucky ones are going to come home severely fucked up, since all that carnage really does do shit to your mind. The not-so-lucky ones are in for all kinds of misery.

We have a shitty record on remembering our veterans, particularly the embarrassing vets that have lost limbs or been disfigured. And we continue ignoring the one’s with the hidden wounds, the ones that come back, can’t function, get divorced, lose their lovers, lose their jobs then eat a gun and maybe take a few people with them.

None of us have any conception of what these people have experienced or how their minds have morphed just so they could continue breathing while they went through Hell, yet we continue tossing them back into society with no plan and no concern about how they will survive.  All the idiots with magnetic ‘I support the troops’ signs need to actually start supporting them. We failed them all by starting this oil-soaked nightmare, can’t we at least give them the attention they deserve when they come back?

The few, the proud, the brave, the forgotten.

Next time you’re on the crapper enjoying a dump, how will you wipe your ass if you don’t have arms?
