3,000 new boots in Iraq bad omen for Veterans Day

It's a bad omen for celebrating Veterans Day that the war party has convinced the president to send 3,000 new boots (1,500 GI's) to continue our defilement of Iraq. This will double the 3,000 current boots being forced to pound the depleted uranium pavement of Iraq after our 8 year war of conquest was mercifully ended in 2011. While the war party uses Veterans Day as a shameless commercial for endless criminal war, we've just found out the number of US canon fodder damaged by the 1980's WMD we supplied Saddam Hussein for his war against Iran is 600, not the 17 first reported. Once again, the best way to honor our Vets is to demand an end to war madness, which has become the Great American Pastime. Sadly, one of the worst aspects of the GOP Senate takeover next year, is that America's most virulent warmonger, John McCain, becomes Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. McCain never met a pair of military boots he didn't want to put in harm's way.
