"Terrorists" as "political enemies". It is just a purge.

Reminds me a few years ago when I was visiting my parents out on Long Island (I live in New York city)...I had to make a transfer from one train to the other at one point, and while waiting for the next train, I bought a copy of Newsday, which is primarily a Long Island newspaper. On about the 2nd or 3rd page, they had an article about an US Iraq war vet who was returning home to his family on Long Island after losing his foot from an IED. Newsday saw it fit to put as the headlines..

Long Island "hero" returns home.

Now just think about that....Here is this guy who will probably need some kind of assistance to walk for the rest of his life, yet he is proud of what he did, he is proud of his service, and naturally he will want to save mementos of that service. Yet here comes the absolute gall of this F-ING sh*trag "Newsday" questioning right off the bat whether he is a hero or not. This is just like Vietnam, it`s unreal. All the returning Vets being spit on and kicked, it makes me sick to my guts!
