We can be heroes…

…just for 1,825 days and counting.

“Actually, we’ll let you know when we want you to stop being heroes, okay? I mean, I know you soldiers thought you were going to be able to spend the fourth with your families, having completed your tour of duty, but guess what? We changed the rules.”

“You’ll be here forever.”

–Ben Varkentine

“God forbid that Americans earning, say, more than $1 million a year be asked to pony up a little more in taxes to support a larger military at a time when, we are told over and over, the country is in the middle of a war on terror. Millionaires can’t be asked to sacrifice even just a little bit. No, they deserve to have their taxes cut while others fight and die.”

–E.J. Dionne, Jr.
