Washington Irving on War
Washington Irving wrote the following about the War of 1812:
Whatever we may think of the expediency or inexpediency of the present war, we cannot feel indifferent to its operations. Whenever our arms come in competition with those of the enemy, jealousy for our country's honour will swallow up every other consideration. Our feelings will ever accompany the flag of our country to battle, rejoicing in its glory -- lamenting over its defeat. For there is no such thing as releasing ourselves from the consequences of the contest. He who fancies he can stand aloof in interest, and by condemning the present war, is woefully mistaken... If the name of American is to be rendered honorable in the fight, we shall each participate in the honor; if otherwise, we must inevitably support our share of the ignominy.

Bush Didn't Say It,
But It Sure Sounds Like Him

You can't spell "soldier" without "die."
So quit whining and get back to Iraq.
[Click here to get a peek at the back, too.]
And I hope it goes without saying that Toner Mishap proudly supports our troops, and their right to life.
