Mercenaries, war, and my childhood

There's been much ado about my indifference to the Mercenary deaths in Falluja a couple days ago. I wrote in some diary comments somewhere that "I felt nothing" and "screw them".
My language was harsh, and, in reality, not true. Fact is, I did feel something. That's why I was so angry.
I was angry that five soldiers -- the real heroes in my mind -- were killed the same day and got far lower billing in the newscasts. I was angry that 51 American soldiers paid the ultimate price for Bush's folly in Iraq in March alone. I was angry that these mercenaries make more in a day than our brave men and women in uniform make in an entire month. I was angry that the US is funding private armies, paying them $30,000 per soldier, per month, while the Bush administration tries to cut our soldiers' hazard pay. I was angry that these mercenaries would leave their wives and children behind to enter a war zone on their own violition.

Yes. Once he lost two Dem advertisers, he pulled the original post from his webpage and from Google/Wayback. Let the other two advertisers know what he's been up to. Use the archived page from the link provided.

I was angry at... No where does Mr. Zuniga (kos) show anger at the murderers. Nor advocate justice for these animals in Fallujah.
Imo, Zuniga's brief statement demonstrates a shallow personality, and lack of intellect.
