After Pat's Birthday

Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat in 2002, and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. Kevin was discharged in 2005.

Two days ago, he issued a powerful public statement (in memory of his dead brother) that includes a rhetorical list of incredible "Somehows" like "Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country." Tillman concludes

In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people. So don’t be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity. Most likely, they will come to know that “somehow” was nurtured by fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked, unchallenged parasites.

Luckily this country is still a democracy. People still have a voice. People still can take action. It can start after Pat’s birthday.

Pat Tillman's birthday is Nov. 6 . . . The election is the following day.

You know what to do, Bloggee.
