# Fred on Everything - Wars And Their Aftermath: Things Seldom Spoken Of - oh how I wish they were spoken of more often, and closer to the battle. Maybe we could get rid of the scourge of war, or at least force our "masters" to do the fighting themselves. [smith2004]
The years will go by. Iraq will fade into the mist. Wars always do. A generation will rise for whom it will be just history. The dismembered veterans will find first that almost nobody appreciates what they did, then that few even remember it. If--when, many would say--the United States is driven out of Iraq, the soldiers will look back and realize that the whole affair was a fraud. Wars are just wars. They seem important at the time. At any rate, we are told that they are important.
Yet the wounds will remain. Arms do not grow back. For the paralyzed there will never be girlfriends, dancing, rolling in the grass with children. The blind will adapt as best they can. Those with merely a missing leg will count themselves lucky. They will hobble about, managing to lead semi-normal lives, and people will say, "How well he handles it." An admirable freak. For others it will be less good. A colostomy bag is a sorry companion on a wedding night.
These men will come to hate. It will not be the Iraqis they hate. This we do not talk about.
# Ruger - Super Redhawk Alaskan - saw this in the January 2005 issues of Guns & Ammo and Shooting Times. Just what my boss needs to take along with a slug-loaded 12 gauge on the Alaska Kayaking trip he's planning for next summer. Comes chambered for .454 Casull & .45 Colt or for .480 Ruger. $819 list.

Heads up and pay attention: the Department of Homeland Security was created to defend this government from the citizens of the United States because they fear we will find out and we will rise up and cast them from power. It does not defend this nation, you, your family, friends, or loved ones. It defends only the government not from Al Qaeda but from us. They know when Americans figure this out, Americans are going to be way past livid and heads in Washington, DC, are going to roll and butts are going to prison.
