4,102 people that died
June 17th, 2008The right wingers like to say that we have not been attacked since September 11, 2001. No terrorism since 9-11.
Let’s examine that claim. We have lost to date 4,102 of our young and not so young men and women in Iraq. So yes we have not been attacked under the current “terror war” at home. 4,102 men and women have lost there lives, 4,102 people who have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters are gone. So when the right wing talk about how we have not been attacked, they have not been attacked because they do not serve in the military, they don’t have to. They say it is better to have the people that volunteer for the military (the ones they call heroes) die in Iraq. Better they die there so we don’t die here, so we can just putter along here at home.
We have been attacked since 9-11, we have been attacked 4,102 times.
