[quote:3rdDayRising:MV82OTUzMjNfMzRCMjREQUU=] We hear so much BS from the MSM about other countries back yards and how bad it is, but they completely neglect the fact that it is safer for our troops in active combat zones than if they lived in even one major US city. This is pretty pathetic... 151 killed in Afghanistan in 2008 while Chicago killed 125 of their own in just 3 months of summer. We need to start putting these pathetic wastes down and with the down turn in our economy, I am sure the Carpenters union could use the work. There were more people killed in Chicago alone in 2008 than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined...
