I am sad. But I know that dying for one's beliefs - misguided or not - is probably a better end than many of us will meet.
War pigs.

And lest we forget:
Welcome, Kamil, I’m an American girl, nineteen, pregnant, my Dad is an alcoholic, but my Mother is in recovery, with her own Daycare, and I’ll be taking it over after the Army, I’ve always wanted to have my own business, and I’m going to expand beyond just one location, I’m not thinking small. And since I believe it is always important to say what one means and not beat around the bush, I want you to know something: I’m going to hold a pistol to your head and tell you to jack-off, while you recite the Koran as fast as you can, you heathen, Hell-bound fuck, and then I’m going to look at the camera with a cigarette dangling from my sultry, teenage lips, giving the thumbs up. By the time you get to MI, you’ll be softened up, and you’ll tell us where the missing evil Baathists are.
