Entry: The Rise of the Post-paleos (a second look) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_rise_of_the_post_paleos_a_second_look#30745 Post contents: My son was a student at Randolph-Macon College. He made friends with a young black woman from a poor rural No. Carolina family who was the first person in her family ever to go to College. After Freshman year she had to drop-out to earn some money and become eligible for the GI Bill. She became a Chaplin in a company which had never ever been sent overseas and the recruiter for the Army promised her she'd never be sent overseas. Of course she had been lied to. She was sent overseas and what she saw she was unprepared for and she suffered a serious psychotic break. This bright young woman (she visited with us during Christmas Vacation while a Freshman) has never been the same since. That is what we are fighting for in Iraq. For the will to war whenever we damn well please and when we grind-up the lives of innocent young women in doing what-we-want-when-we-want that is just too damn bad, ain't it? Who gives a rat's ass about what damn label some worthless toothless political organisation will get? When a Nation sends gun-toting Mothers into combat zones thousands of miles away from home in any war (say nothing about unnecessary ones) that nation is dead. DEAD Sent at: 2008 12 02
