Captain America Buried in Arlington National Cemetary

coondoggie writes "Earlier this year Captain America was slain as the climax to Marvel Comics' Civil War event. The renowned hero will be buried in the next issue of Marvel Comics' 'Fallen Son,' due on July 5. 'Writer Jeph Loeb has been busy working through the stages of grief in his most recent titles, according to an Associated Press story. A book centered on Wolverine dealt with denial; one with the Avengers covered anger; and Spider-Man battled depression. With the story line so relevant to present-day politics, and the timing of the latest issue so precise, it's hard not to think the whole thing is one big slam on the government.'"

    Just because you choose to denigrate things you disagree with doesn't mean your opinions are valid. I chose to serve 9 years. My wife is still serving. I agree with most of what is being done and has been done with foreign policy. I read a big chunk of the intelligence that lead to these decisions as it was coming in and came to the same conclusions. I might add that most of Congress came to the same conclusions only some choose political expediency over honor and integrity. I listened to GB's UN speech before the UN and know for a fact that it is almost entirely correct, even today with hindsight.

    I don't like the poor fiscal policy of Congress. I think too many things are pushed to the Federal level. I think the Federal government is too powerful. I believe in "these united states" over "The United States". I think that lawyers have taken over all three branches of government and it's a BAD thing.
