Welcome to real world young lady wall street owns the country and the profits of perpetual wars, it is almost impossible to change. It is very simple congress and senate are owned by wall street and the bankers. It will take most of the nation to change this war machine that runs our government and economy. And unfortunately most Americans are war happy even to the point of sending their own children to their deaths for oil profit wars.

It is called the fog of war you IDIOT! If you weren't on the ground that day like we were then don't comment. You have NO IDEA what the circumstances were leading up to that shooting and I just love the media machine. That was sarcasam in case you didn't catch it

@8Thirst She doesn't once mention Obama, she's talking about the 2006 election and how she had her hopes set on the Democrats making changes, and then says she was disappointed by their actions once they won the majority in Congress. That's when she decided to stop relying on politicians and taking action herself.

sergeants are "non-commissioned" officers. ranks, starting at 2nd lt, are commissioned officers.

Good point. Civilian don't know the differences and that is why they should not put their two cents to it.

I just read your comment from 5 months ago... Liberals are the cause of the problem... Bush is about as conservative as maralyin manson. So... When you vote for the guy in the other party... know what kinda person he is before you vote... cause its usually two sides of the same coin. This woman has been hoodwinked into thinking Obama actually gives a rats ass about the soldiers. If you stil have doubts wait 5 more months. Btw shes an alledged military int. officer rofl!
