Over the last half day, the only thing I've been able to think is "Fuck Iraq."
Really. Fuck Iraq.
And I don't want to hear any fucking idiots saying that we belong over there, that we're sending KIDS there for a reason, that there is a purpose for it all. There isn't a single God damn purpose for any fucking kid to be over there, fighting for something that no one over here understands, dying, for no real reason.
THERE IS NO REASON FOR THEM TO BE OVER THERE RISKING THEIR LIVES, THEY'RE NOT PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY FROM IMMINENT DANGER. Jesus.
Why am I saying any of this?
Because a guy I graduated with, LESS THAN A YEAR A GO, from my class of approx. 50, died in Iraq. HE DIED IN IRAQ. Yesterday. They left the states Feb 20 and now March 9th he's fucking dead. He's DEAD.
SO I SAY FUCK IRAQ and FUCK you supporters. Tell me how YOU feel when someone YOU know is killed overseas. And you can't even give yourself a good fucking reason. You can't tell yourself, he was over there protecting us. You can't tell yourself, he did it for the good of America, for the good of mankind, for the good of fucking freedom.
So fuck you. And Fuck Iraq.
