Besides running with them in photo-ops, how can we best exploit soldiers?
I mean, besides sending them off to die to make a few of us richer than God? How can we really, truly exploit their tragedy to the greatest profit margin?

Could the president jog by their graves, or funerals? Could he be photographed with the parents of the two tortured soldiers they exploited so well last week?

Should we prop up the legless, armless, eyeless soldiers or the permanently bed ridden ones on parade floats on Independence Day? Shall we hide the faces of the mutilated soldiers, and the ones being punished for state sanctioned war crimes?

How can we turn off our sense of decency all the way and use the bravery and patriotism of our volunteer army of IED fodder to our vice president's best financial advantage?

I need help here.

1. Sell their body parts...
...for use in commemorative medallions? "Own your very own piece of a genyooooine war hero! Get 'em now while supplies last!"

2. I've seen a photo shopped image of Bush 1 and 2 riding past a
soldier's funeral in a golf cart, happily playing golf while the bereaved family is at the grave site. I honestly won't be surprised if that did happen. Actions speak louder than words, and Bush couldn't care less about our soldiers, unless there's an opportunity to use them for propaganda.

He is a sick, sick, sick man. And he should be impeached for his lies, crimes against America, and violation of the Constitution.

The pic of Bush jogging with the soldier was disgusting in my opinion. Bush should be on his knees crying for forgiveness for what he has done to that young man, and thousands of others like him. A true Christian would not take advantage of a situation the way Bush has.
