Chickenhawks and the cost

American Chickenhawks - The Keyboard Kommandos of the Fighting Internet 404 - are uniformly resident in one party: The Repuglican party. And they want war -- always, war. Here's what they dream of:

Endless war, fought by the poor of America. Here's the inevitable cost:


To engage in war, you must be prepared to pay the cost, in blood. Unfortunately, the Chickenhawks will never have to pay this cost themselves -- others, poorer people, pay it for them. For them, war is a game, a rooting concern, something to watch on Fox News. It's pure abstraction. Bush banned any and all displays of dead soldiers. Obama lifted that ban -- the reason Bush banned it was to avoid anyone knowing the real costs of these wars. Well, look above, that's the cost.
