Discuss Issues: Texas Death Rates Highest in the War#links
If memory serves me correctly, there have historically been more soldiers from the South serving in the armed forces than the North. Now if memory serves me correctly again, Texas has the second highest population per state, after California. Still, for Texans, perhaps this is what could make them lose support for this ridiculous war.
Thanks Worried for posting this. Worried chose her handle based on the fact that she has a son in Iraq. A war she doesn't support, and a son who has to, whether he wants to or not. Hope your son comes home safe and sound Worried!
Hi Ingrid
ReplyDeleteI posted a commment over there; I think even the most patriotic War supporting voter must surely now acknowledge the terrible mistake it was to invade Iraq, whose secretarian violence was always going to erupt to its present day debacle.
Best wishes
I'm not so sure about this. Most of the people who support the Bush administration in Texas usually live outside major metropolitan cities. I'm sure most of the soldiers who died also came from smaller cities or rural areas. It's worth checking out.
