14 U.S. Soldiers Killed in 3 Days in Iraq

Here’s all I’ve really got to say about that:


Jerk.

That must have felt like a pretty cool maneuver at the time, spending $1 million of taxpayers’ money to pretend to pilot (but really ride as a passenger in) a jet onto an aircraft carrier to declare our mission in Iraq accomplished. But our soldiers keep dying. More than a year after you made your dramatic photo op declaration, we’ve lost fourteen in the last three days alone. And still you won’t let their caskets be photographed, and even their own families are told lies about their deaths.

Do you still feel cool, flyboy?

Because I don’t. I feel really sad.
