Bush's Butcher Shop
Fighting 69th mourns loss of N.Y. soldier0 comments
This is the famous New York City National Guard outfit of Jimmy Cagney movie fame: "The Fighting 69th."
69th Infantry Regiment KIA:
Civil War: 388
World War I: 900
World War II: 472
All of Korea: 0
All of Vietnam: 0
So far in Iraq: 4
Just as in Cagney's day, they're as tough as any bunch in the game.
So, you want to support our troops?
Fine.
Then, badger your Senator to make Bush bring them home now, while they're still alive to appreciate the gesture and say "Yo! Thanks, Mac!" for your support.
