You dont have to do any of those things. You just have to vote in November. You just have to take the time to rally your neighbors, your family members and your co-workers to vote for candidates who believe in the Constitution. You must marshal voters who will reject the out-of-control, free-spending government that has brought our country to the edge of bankruptcy. Because if the Constitution doesnt mean anything, if all of the founders sacrifices went for naught, if all of those American heroes who fought and bled and died for the flag mean nothing, if all your parents and grandparents gave you doesnt amount to a hill of beans, well, then our generation will be forever known as the weak-willed group that let the American dream slip from our fingers. http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/09/weakest-generation.html Clip Source: directorblue.blogspot.com You dont have to ride on a treacherous, unlit cow path from the north-side of Boston to Lexington sail for weeks across the Atlantic and then sack a city in Tripoli to rescue your imprisoned countrymen You dont have to kill a British soldier in a desperate, hand-to-hand struggle You dont have to hold the line against Picketts desperate charge at Gettysburg as thousands of wounded men shriek bloody murder around you.

Polish soldiers on trial for killing Afghan civilians clipped by: foxyarse clippers remarks: "The last such case to have found its way to court was probably in relation to US Army activities in Vietnam." The incident occurred after the Polish soldiers came under fire from Taliban forces, and one Polish vehicle was hit in the exchange. Prosecutors say the situation later calmed down enough for the soldiers to begin cooking a meal. In the meantime, one group began firing on the village with machine guns and then threw grenades, prosecutors said. Six people died in the shooting, including two women, three children and a man getting ready for his wedding, reported the Polish Press Agency PAP. Three other persons were wounded. The soldiers claim they misfired because of faulty mortar and ammunition. Six of them are accused of killing civilians and face up to life in jail. The seventh faces charges of firing into an undefended object, and faces up to 15 years in jail, PAP reported.

The court ruled to close the proceedings off to the media, saying it could lead to "dramatization" of the case and that the hall was too small to hold journalists. Prosecutors claim to have strong evidence that the soldiers unlawfully killed civilians in the Afghan village of Nangar Khel in August 2007. They say the villagers posed no threat and the soldiers knowingly fired into building that contained civilians. "Its a unique trial, not only in Poland but also in Europe or even in the world," a court spokesman told the daily Gazeta Wyborcza Tags: polish soldiers on trial for killing afghan civili zum Artikel...
