Soldiers are not chunks of identical clay; each of them has a story, their own reasons for being caught in a war.
Brave? Maybe - sometimes, under some conditions. Scared, mostly. The younger they are, the more likely their presence had to do with restlessness, cockiness. The need to be part of a winning team, the desire to even a score. Kick ass, take names. Kill them all, let God sort them out.
What do you think of this new T-shirt from Raygun in Des Moines?
The shirt is being offered as Minnesota prepares to join Iowa as the only states in the Midwest to allow same-sex marriage. The shirt reads "5/14/2013 Minnesota is now finally as gay as Iowa."
Minnesota's governor is set to sign a bill legalizing same-sex marriage Tuesday. Couples could hold weddings starting Aug. 1.
Gov. Mark Dayton has repeatedly said he would sign the bill. He's scheduled to do so during a ceremony at 5 p.m. Tuesday on the front steps of Minnesota's Capitol in St. Paul.
The state Legislature gave its final stamp of approval Monday when the Senate passed the bill by a 37-30 vote. The House passed it last week.
Minnesota becomes the 12th U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage, and the first in the Midwest to do it by legislative vote.
