"Barack Obama Is BLACK"

A BROKEN CLOCK REVEALS THE LIE OF A MATERIAL-MECHANICAL UNIVERSE

Treasure
To me it seems the talk about our troops being Treasure doesn't match the walk. I mean the abuse of the troops isn't coming from the Anti War protestors. It's coming from the leaders who have given the mission and made the call.
