I hate the wars. I hate the deaths of loved ones who are over there fighting. Send them home. Those crazy people over there have been fighting each other for thousands of years. We would not be in the financial problems that this country has encountered if we were not paying the costs of war. We rebuild what we tear up in other countries. Spend all that money here on our Americans. There is enough oil here that we could use for hundreds of years. I hate the Politics of all this. All the wealthy politicians that are oil rich who are all into the foreign oil scene. Who are making money off our dying yound men and women. Send our beloved people home. We want them in good health and alive. If those crazies want to kill each other let them.

They are wanting to send more soldiers over there, how sad. Is this a way of thinning out our population? I'm sure its not for the better good. I ache for this young mans family. So sad. Whats even more sad is. The people who have served and been wounded or mentally scared should never have to spend a dime for their health care,ever. They should be able to walk in anywhere and get what ever they need. There are so many from the VietNam was that are homeless and on the streets. That really breaks my heart that these people came home mentally scared and are sleeping in cardboard boxes. God, for the sake of these people.
don't send anymore away.

When the soldiers signed up, they knew they could die for defending our country. If we up and leave, the terrorists and everyone who is against us is not going to stop and stay in those countries, they will start attacking us at home. I would like to hear what the parents of Dale Griffin feels on this issue.

Also, military recruiting is up. It might be part due to the economy, but people are willing to risk their life for our freedom. It has been this way for years.

It's sad that you are clearly so naive.

There is help for homeless veterans, The VA in Indianapolis has a program for them. Am Vets helps them to get in this and other programs. They only need to reach out. They can go to any VFW and they will also help them. I don't completely understand this war but my husband has served a tour and could very well serve another one. I support his decision, Is it all about oil? I don't know. Conspirator theorists say one thing others say another, unless you have been there I don't think you can even completely understand it even than. I do know about honor killings. I do know that I am sick of them coming over here and getting a free education, free medical care, benefits we pay taxes for and everything else when we cant take care of our own. I do know that they receive better medical treatment at Guantanamo bay then those who who are at ground zero on 9/11.

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Gemini

If you're currently keeping something secret it will really start to prey on your mind today and you'll worry about blurting it out at the wrong moment. It's one of those days in which you're absent-minded and completely wrapped up in your own thoughts. As a result, it will be hard to concentrate on anything else and this won't go down well in certain quarters.
