You'll get scoffed at for daring to say anything that even vaguely says like it might have come from within the proximity of a "hippie" in the 60s, but this just goes to show that, yes, these "elected officials" see war as nothing more than a game.Fifty years and yet nobody seems to be doing anything about it. I'm sure this chap was the "lesser of two evils" to someone, somewhere.

Another ignorant asshat Republican with the no decency(or brain) whatsoever...again, par for the course for the vast majority of this generation of Republicans. Grow up Mr. Congressman.

Considering that Hanc**k's funeral is today I would say that it's too soon.

The smartest man in the world is a bouncer at a dive bar in New York. This idiot's an elected official. The dumbing down of America continues.
