Perhaps the main problem with the war is that it was being sold as relatively quick, easy, and cheap while its actually a long and very important conflict.

Why didn't they fight back?

This should be my last article about the VT shootings, as there isn't much more to be said. Marc Danziger has an article that is pretty similiar in its feelings to what me and Sara talked about with each other after we heard about what happened. I just don't understand how you can sit there why a gunman fires 100 rounds into your classmates and think this is a good way to teach our kids to act. Are we so concerned with personal safely in our culture that we tell our kids that doing something in the face of violence to try and stop it will only get them hurt. I just don't understand how we can see that so many people did nothing to stop this and not see a problem. Personal Courage is an army value, but shouldn't we be teaching that it is a higher ideal for everyone?

This is exactly the reason that no one should trust the mainstream media. Ever. About anything.

Wiccan Headstones

As my darling wife as pointed out to me, the VA has just changed its policy on head stones. Now, the Wiccan symbol will be allowed as a headstone, added to the other 38 symbols that were previously allowed. Yahoo News has the whole article.

To be honest, I was not really sure what to think about it at first, but after thinking it over, I don't know why the VA wanted to fight this at all. All i can think of it that if you put whatever you want up, you can use it to make political statements (since the gravestone is sometimes chosen by the family if its not clear). Even so, any religious symbol should be allowed on the headstone if you made it to the national cemetary. Its not for the VA or the US Government to judge what what is an appropriate marker of anyone's religious beliefs.

**UPDATE**

On further reflection, I am not sure why you arn't allowed to put up anything you want on your tombstone in the National Cemetary. I mean to get to the National Cemetary you certainly gave your life so why is the symbol you want to leave for the rest of the world controversial? IMAO makes light up some other symbols but in all seriousness, shouldn't i be able to put up what i want? Maybe i do want a Batman symbol up, perhaps I want to have another cross besides the normal one, say a Crusader's Cross. Its my flippin tombstone, shouldn't I decide whats on it?
