"I was called to serve in Iraq because the government said there were weapons of mass destruction -- but they weren't there," Spc. Robert Acosta, 21, who was an ammunitions specialist with the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, says in the thought-provoking ad. "They said Iraq had something to do with 9/11 -- but the connection wasn't there ... So when people ask me where my arm went, I try to find the words, but they're not there." The ad ends with a shot of Acosta removing his prosthesis, revealing a stub where his right hand should be.

Obviously, he's a terrorist sympathizer who hates freedom.

And you're a terrorist sympathizer who hates freedom for posting a link to the ad.

And I'm a terrorist sympathizer who hates freedom for responding to it.

First he says that he lost his ARM, then he demonstrates that he only lost his HAND. So which is it, Mr. Flip-Flopper?

On the other hand, you could read my Backwash column -- and see one reason why this is just moronic oversimplification.
