How to Stop the Neocon Ego Trip? I cannot forget the costs of that war -- some 50 million killed. And on the personal level it more or less devastated two of my favorite uncles who never really recovered from its horrors Both had faced violent death and survived. One was in a tent during the taking of Italy with about 25 of his buddies when a German shell hit it -- he was the sole survivor. Both of these uncles returned -- not to complete the high school educations they had departed to enlist (5 sisters had done college and some professional studies towards various careers). Each had poverty level jobs and drinking problems. These would be what we now recognize as the effects of post traumatic stress. Needless to say the children of Ramadi, their parents, and our troops are engaged in deadly combat which can do good for none of them. This neocon ego trip must be stopped before it does even more damage to America and those whom we are afflicting. Ed Kent] .....................
