Lets stop for a moment and take the focus off the Republican National Convention and shed some light on a serious issue that is has been plaguing our country since the start of this nonsense was in Iraq. Now before people start to get uppity and complain that I have no right to talk because I haven't been there let me lay this cold hard truth out on the line.
I have lost a family member, and a friend in that war. I had a friend come home with one leg and is now trying to overcome chronic pain and problems because of the damage done to him. I see it first hand.
Reports are showing right now that the suicide rate among soldiers may set another record HIGH this year. Which I think needs to be the major focus of attention is getting all of our service members home, ALIVE. Not how many more years John McCain can keep up in a country that we had no business invading to begin with.
Can the "Pro War" mongers not see that this is taking a serious toll on our service men and women? Do you think that a record high suicide rate is actually acceptable?
I can tell you as an American citizen, tax payer, and voter, no it is not acceptable and any candidate that continues this sham of a war in the Middle East needs a real reality check.
We need to get out of Iraq before we lose anymore of our brave men and women.
