Jeff, like many of we vets, knows the costs, in more than mere dollars. Long call from my son tonight, “W” and Cheney’s entanglements are back at him again, and it ain’t easy.
The costs of the wars do not, of course, include the cost of care for veterans that are wounded or mutilated, the cost of care for veterans that are mentally screwed up, and the cost of veterans who don’t get treatment for any of those conditions. -Of course, Haliburton, Blackwater, and many other corporations/people make tons of money, so I guess it all comes out even.
Uncle Sam: First, slap that whispering instigator a good one.Then, since the 1% profited greatly from all these wars and de-regulation and raping the middle class, slap a good sur-tax on those profits, and “deferred income” to pay this tab, then strip away the citizenship of those who stash all the loot in off-shore, tax-free havens!
“Do agree with LBJ escalating and sending more troops to Vietnam without funding? LBJ was a Democrat who Loved The Vietnam War.”-The whole ’It’s Okay If A Republican Does It.’does not apply to Democrats. LBJ was hounded into not running again and here’s a hint: The hounding was not done by conservatives.-For today’s “conservatives”, i.e. Republicans/Fox “news” viewers, LBJ’s escalation of Viet Nam totally justifies the Iraqi invasion.-You know, It’s Okay If A Republican Does It.

The “MOM” tattoo is a nice touch.
The toon is sadly true.

^Nixon ran in longer, too keep up the profits for his friends, and left it for Jerry Ford to end.
