Here's a little something that automakers and the liars at Stratacomm
and SUV Owners of America won't tell you: The myth of being a bad
ass baby killer in a "Hummer" is a good way to get your clock
cleaned by the people fighting for their country against you.
As one American patriot put it:
Amen to that, brother.

15,000 Humvees in Iraq. But only 10% have armor. Result: 200 U.S.
soldiers blown up in their vehicles. They were the lucky ones.
For months the gravest wounds have been caused by roadside bombs
-- improvised explosives that negate the protection of Kevlar
helmets by blowing shrapnel and dirt upward into the face. In
addition, firefights with guerrillas have surged recently, causing
a sharp rise in gunshot wounds to the only vital area not protected
by body armor.
The neurosurgeons at the 31st Combat Support Hospital measure
the damage in the number of skulls they remove to get to the
injured brain inside, a procedure known as a craniotomy. 'We've
done more in eight weeks than the previous neurosurgery team
did in eight months,' Poffenbarger said. 'So there's been a
change in the intensity level of the war.'"
Bush does not give a damn about our soldiers. You see, our soldiers
are not defending our country by being in Iraq. WTF are they doing
there? Look at what is happening in Fallujah. This is the reality:
Fascist military operations and repression against people directed
by our very own U.S. government. Bush is an evil man. This
miniature Hitler must be removed from power this November, because we
cannot take 4 more years of this shit.
"More and more in Iraq, combat surgeons say, the wounds involve
severe damage to the head and eyes -- injuries that leave soldiers
brain damaged or blind, or both, and the doctors who see them
first struggling against despair.
