_________ SEVERE EARTHQUAKE IN FRANCE
March 14, 2003.
Today it was reported that severe earthquakes have occurred in 10 different locations in France. The severity was measured in excess of 10 on the Richter Scale. The cause was the 56,681 dead
American soldiers buried in French soil rolling over in their graves.
According to the American Battle Monuments Commission there are 26,255 Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There are 30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in France. These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to liberate a country which is guilty of shameful unspeakable behavior in the 21st century
Keep forwarding this until it winds up on the computers in France to show that we have not forgotten!

I responded to this with:
Yeah, and let's not forget that our troops have been sent to to fight an unprovoked war by a president who dodged Vietnam by signing up for the Texas Air National Guard[1] (and didn't even serve the full two years he pledged to), his cabinet (who collectively have less military experience than the cast of "Saving Private Ryan"[2]), and a Congress who, of 535 members, only one of which actually has a son in the military [3].
Forgive me if I feel a bit more betrayed by our own leaders than France at the moment.

I'm getting tired of quelling the ignorant crap I get from my friends and relatives!
