I just got a close up view of what Iraq is doing to our service men and their families. I am a firefighter and I just went on a run where a man was handcuffed and under arrest for getting drunk and fighting with his family and relatives. He found out that he was being deployed to Iraq.
He head butted his brother in law several times who was trying to calm him down, and threatened his wife and family. They were forced to call 911 and we went with along with the ambulance. Because the call was violent in nature we had to wait for the police. They went in first and cuffed him. The brother in law was ok but bleeding and had a bad headache, maybe a concussion. The wife and her mother and another woman were outside, scared and crying. I asked what the motivation might have been and they said he found out he was being deployed and got drunk. It still won't get him out of going, the MP's will get him out of jail and send him off and his legal process will be picked up when he gets home, if he gets home.
I must go below the fold, so click.
This sad state of family affairs is likely repeated on a daily basis aroune the country, tearing families apart, all thanks to GWB. Fuck GWB. I feel bad for him and his family, god bless them. but not GWB. May the devil get his due for GWB.
