it's been a while
Yes, it has been a while, but I'm still here. My semester has officially ended and well, I have a little time on my hands. So, let's get started...
Yesterday, as I was picking up my parents from the Hartford airport (the best airport in the world in my opinion), I spied this girl coming off a plane to meet her family. The girl couldn't have been more than 18 years old. She was beautiful and frail. Blond, she had that whispy hair that so many blond girls have and her face suggested that she hadn't quite grown out of that awkward stage of girlhood and into full womanhood.
I imagined her with her legs blown off.
You see, she was wearing army fatigues. She had just come home from basic training in the army and was probably there for a quick visit before they shipped her off to Iraq where, thanks to our army being co-ed, she will be in danger of being kidnapped, raped, beaten, tortured, and killed. She may get hit by friendly fire by a liberated Iraqi showing his appreciation for our presence there. She will most likely, this whisp of a girl, encounter death, destruction, disfigurement, dead women and children: in short, hell.
God bless America!
Of course, she will at least have the satisfaction that, back home, the man responsible for her situation is a criminal.
Oh, yes. I can finally say that without saying, "I believe," or "in my opinion." Turns out ordering people to spy on Americans without warrents is a capital offense. A crime, if you will. A felony, if you must. Now, by capital offense, do they mean, "worthy of capital punishment," or will we have to settle for the impeachment?
