Please post appreciation notes through our letter box here for the tireless work of the Cartoons and Pictures From The "Land Of NOMIS" effort.
Of course you may post comments in that thread, but for those not wanting to interrupt the flow of the pictorial message stream, this is an alternative option.
Big Thanks to Afterglow for ceaseless attention to our visual needs.
After spending a week very close to a huge Army base...and talking to people, I wish the cartoonists could really get the gut level reactions of the families to some of the political rhetoric.
When 9 year old kids refer to the Commander in Chief as the Head Chickenhawk...and the Mom almost has a coronary because her husband would be in trouble if it got back to his CO that his kid had said it...and the kid can explain his position succinctly PLUS point out the errors that Bushco has made, then there's a LOT of discussion going on.
Dad's being deployed to Afghanistan again...kid's mad. Dad's been in Afghanistan twice already, and done two 11 month stints in Iraq, with 45 days between the two so that he could recuperate from a broken leg.
Our military is being abused to a morally dangerous point. It must stop.
