Vietnam Casualties:
The Dead from
Midland, Texas, and Casper, Wyoming
These are the men from Midland. Texas, the home town of George W. Bush, and
Casper, Wyoming, the home town of Richard Cheney, who died in Vietnam.
Which of these men died in place of the two Chief Chickenhawks, both of whom had
"better things to do" than to go off and fight a war that both professed to believe in?
Who died in your place, George W. Bush? Who died in your place, Dick Cheney?
This is a question the GOP wasted no time asking Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.
I'm still waiting for an answer from President Smirking Chimp and Vice President Crashcart.
This page was cited in a piece
in The Nation (May 17, 2004) -- read a reprint of the John Nichols article
here. And
answer up, Dick Cheney.
Note: Be sure to see the
Permian Basin (Texas) Veterans Memorial honoring the
men and women from West Texas who gave their lives in service.
